[COLOMBIA]FILBO Feria Internacional Libro Bogotá 2024
보고타 국제 도서전 - FILBo 2024
2024.04.17. ~ 05.02.
At FILBo 2024 we will dedicate the cultural and academic programming to the natural world and the alternative ways of life it proposes, at a time when humanity seems to need them. Plants, for example, favor silence and slowness, which is very similar to reading.
The world of fungi, minerals, animals - to which we belong despite the fact that we sometimes forget it - each has its own ways of inhabiting the planet, and we want to highlight them through books, reading and words, to contribute to the discussion on our own ways of relating to the environment.
In democracy, mankind has achieved a method of reconciliation with his fellow men; now it is vital to find a way to live in harmony with the other beings of the earth. For this reason, ·Lee la naturaleza· will be the programmatic theme of FILBo, the great annual event in Colombia with the paper garden that is the book.
