Spain Now! began in 2009 as an annual showcase for Spain’s most contemporary creative talent. Its programme is designed to familiarise the London public with contemporary Spanish culture through exhibitions, concerts, performances, screenings and other artistic and cultural expressions of fashion, cuisine, visual arts, architecture, cinema and literature.
The projects organised by Spain Now! include one that is run in collaboration with the firm of publishers Hispabooks and is an independent platform for publishing in English the best contemporary Spanish narrative literature to be sold online on a worldwide scale, helping boost the position of Spanish fiction in the English-language market. This year Spain Now! will provide Hispabooks with a framework for launching its first two English translations: the works of José Ovejero and Javier Montes. AC/E is collaborating with this project through its mobility programme, currently in its first year, by backing the participation of these two authors and Hispabooks’ editor Ana Pérez in this event.
