The fair will also feature a new space entitled Speaker’s Corner, where authors and publishing professionals can both explain their projects to those wishing to listen as well as exchange ideas.
The fair will also host the 2nd International Symposium on Publishing and Collectionism and two exhibitions will be inaugurated as part of the framework for the event, on the one hand, Unseen Jessica Lange, with photographs by the North American actress and, on the other, This is the cover of the book, a collective exhibition that begins with the work of conceptual artist George Brecht.
