Babel is a literary festival centred on translation, both in the narrow sense - writers linked to several languages and cultures in dialogue with their Italian translators, translation workshops, translations between the arts and book publishing - and as a metaphor for linguistic hospitality, crossing and encounter.
From year to year Babel addresses a language, a country, a theme, inviting writers, artists, musicians and translators . Among the guests of past editions: Derek Walcott, Adam Zagajewski, Marie NDiaye, Amitav Ghosh, Jamaica Kincaid, Ha Jin, Elias Khury, Adania Shibli, Ludmila Ulickaja, Ismail Kadaré, Juan Villoro, Guillermo Arriaga, Valeria Luiselli, Patrick Chamoiseau, Yu Hua, Kamel Daoud, Jean Echenoz, Jakuta Alikavazovic, Frédéric Pajak, The Tiger Lillies, West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and András Keller, as well as several young writers whom Babel translated into Italian for the first time and published with Swiss and Italian publishers.
