“Trobades & Premis Mediterannis Albert Camus” selects Samar Yazbek as a finalist to their prestigious award

The jury of the IV Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus —chaired by Javier Gomá, current director of the Juan March Foundation, and also formed by N’Gone Fall, independent curator; Miquel Molina, writer and journalist; José Luis Pérez Pont, critic and museum director; and Anne Prouteau, president of the Society for Camusian Studies — has selected Samar Yazbek as a finalist of this prestigious award in the category of Journalism.

Albert Camus is an international symbol of rebellion, justice and humanism. His thought has inspired generations, and in a world as turbulent as the one in which he lived, he can help us better understand each other and re-establish our Mediterranean region as a cultural paradigm within the global landscape.

Menorca is identified with the vast literary and philosophical legacy of Albert Camus, and as an international reference point. The Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus projects the image of a cultural Menorca, a host port for debates, dialogues and ideas that can help create a space for coexistence rooted in social justice and based upon mutual knowledge and the respect that this generates.

This is how the Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus have become an annual rendez-vous of international thought leadership, with Albert Camus as our humanistic beacon.

Samar Yazbek will be in conversation with Alfredo Jaar and Javier Gomá on Saturday May 4th (11h30 – 12h45), and will be discussing the following topic: “How to Strip Language?”
