Public conversation on a world in conflict

On 21 October at 7pm, the Teatro Pérez Galdós in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will host a conversation with the Canarian journalists Nicolás Castellano and José Naranjo about the conflicts shaping international affairs and the transformations of the global landscape since the 9/11 attacks. The event will take place in the venue’s press room, with limited capacity and prior registration required.

Twenty-five years since 9/11

Entitled Un mundo en conflicto. 25 años del 11-S (A world in conflict: 25 years since 9/11), the meeting forms part of Estado de la Cuestión, a space for research and dialogue with the public integrated into the Laboratorio Galdós internacional 2026, a project of stage experimentation.

Castellano and Naranjo will analyse the changes produced since the 2001 attacks in the United States and the war in Iraq, as well as the journalistic coverage of current conflicts such as those in Gaza, Ukraine and the Sahel. The conversation will also address their consequences for global stability and the forced displacement of populations, a reality that connects these scenarios with the Canary Islands.

Record levels of armed conflict

According to both journalists, a quarter of a century after 9/11 the number of armed conflicts has reached unprecedented levels and is forcing millions of people to abandon their homes. Their reflections will focus on an international context in which, they warn, the use of force and violence against the most vulnerable have become the norm.
