ANNA VILLANOVA

With a Sociology and Master Degree in Cultural Policies, Anna has led the Professional Area of Fira Mediterrània since 2014.

Fira Mediterrània de Manresa is the strategic fair for artistic proposals which use root sources, tradition and popular culture as the drivers of creativity. This is a multidisciplinary fair whose programme is divided into three main itineraries: one for music, featuring the Mediterranean world music and folk music scenes, where the latest works from the Catalan roots scene are highlights; one for dance, with a dynamic perspective on traditional roots and folk culture; and one for memory, legacy and oral storytelling, with performance and outdoor arts offerings, particularly theatre and circus, which draw on folk culture. At the same time, the professional area is a meeting and exchange space that becomes a point of contact and sale for both the performing arts and music sectors. The 27th edition will be held in Manresa from 10 to 13 October 2024.
