Book fairs strengthen languages at the Triple Frontier

Foz do Iguaçu and Ciudad del Este organized book fairs, as highlighted by the 100fronteiras article. The publication emphasizes that Portuguese, Spanish, and Guarani circulate among schools, businesses, and daily conversations, creating a shared territory even before official recognitions.

The report argues that, despite the fairs being separate, cultural proximity allows events on one side of the bridge to resonate on the other, involving readers, writers, publishers, and bookstores from both countries. It also mentions Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) as part of the regional literary circuit.

According to the text, a trilateral fair would require joint planning among municipal governments, cultural institutions, universities, consulates, schools, and publishing-industry agents, ensuring a balanced presence of authors, publishers, and activities in Portuguese, Spanish, and Guarani.
