In a truly Mediterranean ceremony, Palma presented the Ciutat Awards at a gala that took place at the Teatro Principal and awarded ten prizes for a total of 105,000 euros. The direction of the gala this year was in charge of La Perif\u00e8rica Produccions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journalist Mar Puigserver has acted as presenter and the guitarist and composer Jaume Tugores, accompanied by the saxophonist David Gonz\u00e1lez, have accompanied the awards ceremony with live music. The writer Antoni Arenc\u00f3n Arias (El Prat de Llobregat, 1963) has won the Lloren\u00e7 Villalonga novel award with a prize of 26,000 euros, the highest, for the work \u201cOf all the poisons, I will give you their secret\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the sea has been the axis around which the awards ceremony has revolved. And it has been a sea with four colors, each of which has represented a different area: green (ecology, nature and also the impact of the climate emergency); blue (the sea of \u200b\u200bartists, with special reference to the painter Antoni Gelabert), yellow (the patrimonial and ethnographic sea and the one that reflects the perpetual relationship with the island) and red (the one of the humanitarian crisis and the thousands of people who are launched each year in search of a decent life). <\/span><\/p>\n

The mayor of Palma, Jos\u00e9 Hila, closed the event and during his speech remarked that “culture, in many of its forms, is the best form of combat for those of us who want to transform society, make it more equitable, and that this , through knowledge, serve as a lever for change to transform us into a better world\u201d. \u201cThe world of artistic creation and knowledge must go hand in hand with civil society to weave shared strategies. Appreciation for books, artistic creation and dissemination must be opposed to false news networks, distrust in science or the spread of slander, which seem to be so fashionable today\u201d, he remarked. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hila has valued the fact that culture reaches the entire city. “The objective is clear: to ensure that all possible benefits are reverted to the neighborhoods and that the maximum population participates in an approach to culture.” In addition, he recalled that “cultural industries must be a new engine of growth and of what we call shared prosperity”.<\/span><\/p>\n
