'TransLit'03 - Story Market' literary market promoting the cultures and literatures of Africa and the Caribbean African Literature Association 29th Annual Meeting

The Translit Cultural Association is focusing its activities for the year 2003 on African and Caribbean literature. The project TransLit'03 - Story Market seeks to promote the cultures and literatures of African and Caribbean countries through a four-day "literary market" in the city of Barcelona.

The Market will be a hub of activities for the promotion of African literatures, as well as for meetings between professionals from the publishing sector (agents, publishers), academics, African and Catalan authors, and international organizers in the context of the promotion of African literature. The framework for these activities is a space permanently open to the public that seeks to enter into contact with African cultures and literatures.

The main acts of the Market will be presentations of books, debates, talks, readings, roundtables, and school activities, with the presence of fourteen authors from different African countries, and a similar number of Catalan writers, moderators, and presenters. The permanent space will house stands from literary associations, a library, a literary café, and various rooms for holding thematic activities.

The Storymarket will take place from 10th to 14th December 2003 in Barcelona. The venue is the Barcelona Contemporary Culture Centre.
