Talk – «Africa» with Pepe Naranjo

Santa Brígida will host next Tuesday, March 17, at 7:30 PM, a new event in the «Charlas con Identidad» (Talks with Identity) cycle, with the participation of Canarian journalist Pepe Naranjo, who will give a talk titled "Africa" at Espacio Juan Sixto Muñoz, in La Atalaya, Gran Canaria.

Born in Telde, Pepe Naranjo has resided in Senegal since 2011 and works as a freelance journalist, specializing in West Africa. He is a regular contributor to the newspaper El País and has covered armed conflicts, health crises, and migratory processes on the ground in various countries of the African continent. His journalistic work is characterized by a close and rigorous look at realities usually absent from the international news focus.

In addition to his work in the media, Naranjo is the author of several books focused on Africa and its complex social, political, and human reality. His career has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2016 Canary Islands Communication Award, granted by Cadena SER.

The "Africa" talk is part of the "Charlas con Identidad 2026" (Talks with Identity 2026) program, a cultural initiative promoted by the LOZA Association, which fosters spaces for reflection and dialogue around memory, identity, and contemporary thought from a Canarian and global perspective.

Collaborators include, among others, the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands Development Fund, and the Santa Brígida City Council.,

Admission is free until full capacity is reached.
