The event brings together more than 110 national and international publishers, celebrating the book as an artistic and experimental medium. Organised in collaboration with the Ajuntament de Barcelona and Museus de Barcelona, the fair offers free public access and features a dynamic programme combining exhibitions, live presentations, and hands-on activities. --- ## Speakers’ Corner and Creative Workshops A key feature of this year’s event is the Speakers’ Corner, a dedicated space for dialogue between creators and audiences. Over 30 presentations will take place, including the launch of 'Joana Biarnés. No será fácil' by Jordi Rovira, a tribute to the pioneering photojournalist, and 'G.', a publication exploring the life and work of Antoni Gaudí. Eight participatory workshops will invite attendees to explore visual storytelling, bookbinding, woodcut printing, and the creation of fanzines and photobooks. Sessions are tailored for families, young people, and adults, with instruction provided by institutions including Escola Llotja, Elisava, and La Massana. Bookings for workshops and talks are handled on-site during the event. --- ## Awards Recognise Emerging and Established Talent ArtsLibris will present three major awards during the fair. The **Premi Eloi Gimeno al millor Fotollibre** honours outstanding photobooks, while the **Premi ArtsLibris Banc Sabadell** recognises excellence in artistic publishing. The **Premi ArtsLibris Primera Impressió** supports emerging creators with their debut publications. Patricia Esquivias serves on the jury for the Banc Sabadell prize, adding an international curatorial perspective to the selection process. > The growth of initiatives like ArtsLibris shows the physical book is far from disappearing.
