The Gabriel García Márquez Fellowship in cultural journalism

"Even if someone set me loose blindfolded, I would know I'm in the
Caribbean." In this way, Gabriel García Márquez described his visceral
connection with this part of the world, to which he owes the cadence and
exuberance of his literary and journalistic work, the cultural universe
that has fed a large part of his life.

Inspired by that link, the New Journalism Foundation -FNPI-, created by
García Márquez himself in the city of Cartagena de Indias, and the
Ministry of Culture of Colombia have joined forces to create an
international program of training and creation in which reporters from
different parts of the world will have the opportunity to expand their
range in cultural journalism and to explore and recount, in Spanish and in
English, the stories of Colombian Caribbean culture, which mix the
richness of the traditional and the popular with the latest in literature,
music and visual arts.

The aim of this workshop will be to use the themes of music, literature
and popular culture to strengthen the basic forms of cultural journalism,
specifically the interview, extended reportage and critical commentary. It
will also give an opportunity to think about the role of cultural
journalism in an era in which creator and audience have an increasingly
direct contact, facilitated by digital tools.

Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture of Colombia, the
participants will not have to pay a registration fee for this activity.
They will also receive the following financial support:

• Roundtrip ticket, economy class

• Accommodation in a single room during the term of the fellowship

• International medical insurance during the term of the fellowship

• Refreshments daily, a welcome dinner, a farewell dinner for each group,
and a lunch to introduce both groups in Barranquilla

• Working materials.

• Press credentials for access to the festivals and artists.
