Mar Benegas

Guest Artist for Kolibrí Festivaali 2025 – 10th Anniversary

In such a special year as the tenth anniversary, we will have the great fortune of spending a few days with the writer and cultural manager Mar Benegas (Valencia, Spain, 1975).

Up to 61 children’s and young adult books, as well as essays, poetry for adults, and anthologies. Stories that have reached China, Brazil, Korea, Italy, or France and have been recognised with important awards.

Get to know her work!

Mar Benegas’ participation in Kolibrí Festivaali is thanks to the collaboration of the Dirección General del Libro, del Cómic y de la Lectura of the Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes of Spain
