The 22nd Venezuelan International Book Fair (FILVEN) will be held from November 13 to 23 at the National Art Gallery (GAN) and the Plaza de la Juventud, in Caracas, with a program that will bring together national and international publishers, writers and readers under the motto "Reading is reborn”.

According to information from the Ministry for Culture, the fair will offer book presentations, workshops, forums, meetings with writers, sales of publications and activities for children and young people.

In addition, the FILVEN agenda will be organized in six thematic axes: technology and future; nature and planet; identity and reunion; writing, women and creative power; territory and youth; and critical historiography, bicentennial and memory of the homeland.

In this edition, the historian and philosopher Carmen Bohórquez, the poet and narrator Esmeralda Torres and the journalist and writer Armando José Sequera will be honored, in recognition of their contributions to thought, literature and the promotion of reading.

Likewise, this time the state of Zulia will be the guest of honor, while Russia will participate as a guest country, with a sample of its editorial and literary production.

Among the novelties, the incorporation of the "cultural basement" stands out, a space set up in the GAN parking lot to link books with other artistic expressions. In addition, the complex will also have a children's pavilion, exhibition areas, rooms for literary activities, a space dedicated to Russia and another to the state of Zulia.

The program can be enjoyed from Monday to Wednesday, from 10:00 in the morning to 7:00 at night, and from Thursday to Sunday, until 8:00 at night. Accreditations for participants and media will be available from November 10, while details of the fair can be found on the FILVEN portal.
