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?”
