The 20th Venezuelan International Book Fair (FILVEN) successfully closed in Nueva Esparta, in La Asunción, under the motto “Reading transforms” and with 35 book presentations and other literary and artistic activities.

This was announced by the director of the State Cabinet of Culture, Héctor Casanova, who noted that the event brought together lovers of literature and culture in the region, according to the Ministry of Power for Culture.

“The 20th FILVEN Nueva Esparta was characterized by impeccable logistics and great assistance,” he said.

One of the highlights of the closing day was the visit of Maestro Beto Valderrama, an icon of Neo-Spartan culture, who shared his knowledge at a conservatory about the multiple ways of performing the joropo in Venezuela.
