Themes:
One of the thematic threads this year at the fair will be 'Geopolis: The (Dis)order of the World'Authors such as Sami Naïr, Marc Marginedas, and Andrés Rábago “El Roto” will be at FeLiX, analyzing the current moment of global instability through their books.
'The Cracks in the Everyday: Essay and Fiction of Instability', will be another of the thematic threads of FeLiX25. Through fiction and essays, authors such as Enrique Vila Matas and Sara Mesa bring us closer to situations that reflect the gaps left by digitalization, unwanted loneliness, bureaucracy, precariousness, inequality, and the crisis of subjectivity resulting from the instability of our emotions and feelings.
The last of the thematic threads of this edition is the so-called 'My Life in Art'This thread showcases real-life figures who have had relevance in the art world, regardless of the discipline, who are transformed into fictional characters through fictionalized biographies and faithful insights into their artistic and personal journeys, as Andrés Neuman does with his intimate story about María Moliner.
See you at the fair!
