The III Lanzarote Literature Festival (FDLL25), themed “Letters of Rofe and Salt,” will open tomorrow, 9th September, the registration period for free attendance at a talk in Puerto del Carmen. The festival offers four writers’ conferences in the municipality of Tías and two in other municipalities.
Attendance at the talks and workshops is free, but prior registration is required via the festival’s official website: www.fdll.es. Each registration list opens one month before the corresponding activity date.
Inaugural Talk
The first registration will be for Fernando Aramburu, who will officially inaugurate the festival on Thursday, 9th October, at 19:30 at the El Fondeadero Civic Centre in Puerto del Carmen with a talk entitled “Narrating Pain: Literature, Memory, and Identity.”
Cultural Significance
Pepa González, the Councillor for Culture of the Tías City Council, states that “supporting the Lanzarote Literature Festival is supporting thought, word, and connection,” while emphasising the municipality’s emergence as a literary reference point.
Esteemed Authors
This year, the FDLL will extend to the south of Lanzarote, featuring Tías, Yaiza, and Arrecife, with participation from renowned authors such as Fernando Aramburu, Elizabeth Duval, Cristina Fernández Cubas, Sergio del Molino, Mónica Ojeda, and Ignacio Martínez de Pisón. Additionally, the workshops will be led by Matías Candeira and Men Marías.
Conference Details
In Tías, the conferences will take place at El Fondeadero and the Tías Municipal Theatre, starring Aramburu (9th October), Elizabeth Duval (16th October), Cristina Fernández Cubas (28th October), and Sergio del Molino (6th November).
Through this initiative, FDLL25 reinforces its aim of bringing literature closer to both local and visiting audiences, creating dialogue spaces between authors and readers while showcasing Lanzarote’s volcanic and Atlantic identity through the written word.
