With great enthusiasm and satisfaction, the seventh edition of Popayán Ciudad Libro came to a close, an event that celebrated literature, art, and culture in all their diversity. For one week, from October 9 to 16, the White City was filled with words, ideas, and creativity, thanks to the participation of 10,300 attendees who made this gathering a resounding success

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to extend a special thank you to the 121 guests who shared their knowledge and passion for literature with the people of Cauca and southwestern Colombia, contributing valuable insights through nearly 130 scheduled activities.

From conferences and workshops to artistic performances, each moment was an opportunity to connect, reflect, and enjoy the richness of written and spoken words.

This event not only strengthened the literary community but also planted new ideas and fostered a love for reading among all participants.

We hope that this experience was enriching for those who joined us and chose to live it and share their story.

Popayán Ciudad Libro 2024 has become a vital space for the socio-cultural development of our country.

We look forward to seeing you again at the next edition, where we will continue exploring together the fascinating world of literature, the arts, and cultures.

This event was led by the Vice-Rector’s Office of Culture and Well-being at the University of Cauca, in partnership with the University Institution Colegio Mayor del Cauca, the Universidad del Cauca’s Editorial Press, and the Cultural Agency of the Bank of the Republic, Popayán branch.
