Gabi Martínez

Invitado de Honor

Escritor, guionista y periodista. Considerado uno de los renovadores de la literatura de viajes en el Estado español, su trayectoria como escritor también lo ha vinculado a la literNatura. Es uno de los impulsores de Liternatura, un festival que invita a repensar la relación entre personas, creación y naturaleza. Su mirada sobre nuestra relación con la naturaleza queda patente en obras como Un cambio de verdad (Seix Barral, 2020), una crónica sobre la experiencia radical de una vida rural que se resiste a ser borrada por la expansión urbana, o en el libro ilustrado Animales invisibles. Mito, vida y extinción (Nórdica Libros y Capitán Swing, 2021), en el que, en colaboración con Jordi Serrallonga, explora cómo el mundo salvaje continúa estimulando el imaginario y la realidad de la humanidad en todo el planeta. Recientemente ha publicado Delta (Seix Barral, 2023) obra en la que nos describe la vibrante diversidad y las culturas locales de un ecosistema tensionado y en peligro de extinción.
