Bogotá. – The Gabo Festival is one of the most important events in Latin America dedicated to journalism, culture, and narrative innovation. Organized by the Gabo Foundation, created by the journalist and Nobel Prize for Literature Gabriel García Márquez, this event brings together journalists, writers, artists, students, and the general public every year around the multiple ways of telling stories.
A meeting point for journalism and citizenship
