On Tuesday, November 5, at 7 p.m. MORERA will host the presentation of the second issue of Horitzons magazine, which is edited and promoted by the Fundació Privada Horitzons 2050 as part of its main mission: to encourage debate and propose actions that contribute to economic, social, cultural and heritage progress of Ponent and the Upper Pyrenees, edits and promotes the magazine Horizons to dream, see, build and, above all, explain the horizon from Terra Firma.

Antoni Gelonch , president of the Horitzons 2050 Private Foundation, and Francesc Canosa , director of the Horitzons magazine, Ferran Sàez , philosopher and writer, and Alba Terés , architect, will participate.

Writers, journalists, historians, political scientists, musicians, photographers and illustrators from all over Catalonia, among many others, once again contribute their thoughts on what the country’s horizons should look like through opinions, essays, chronicles, reports and interviews , as well as images, photographs, illustrations and infographics. The illustrations are by Carles Porta , while the photographs are by Santi Iglesias .

The second edition of the magazine is nourished by content as powerful as a conversation between president Jordi Pujol and the director of Horitzons, Francesc Canosa , in which current events are deliberately avoided to focus on the situation in Lleida during his term . “If anyone can pass in front of Lleida, it’s not Girona, it’s Huesca”, says Pujol, who shares not only the journalistic genre, but also arguments, with the economist and university professor Oriol Amat , interviewed by the journalist Laia Corbella and portrayed by Xavi less The third interview of this new Horizons is starring video artist and filmmaker from Lleida Laia Cabrera and written by Antònia Folguera , curator of Sónar +D.

It is also worth noting Albert Villaró’s essay report in which the writer from the Pyrenees reveals “the inner border (wound)” that separates the plain from the mountain , that is to say, the close relationship between both areas of Lleida and the differences that are evident in the day to day. On the other hand, this issue debuts an infographics section that dedicates several pages to immigration with a whole series of data and graphics by designer Arnau Torrente . They explain the current and real situation of foreigners living in Lleida and Catalonia, together with the analysis of the sociologist Salvador Cardús . Equally, the infographic that completes the report on the real places where Lleida’s noir novels take place, by journalist David Marín , is most noteworthy.

Finally, the second issue of Horitzons magazine also repeats the interviews, this time with King Jaume I by the journalist Jaume Clotet , and with Aurèlia Pijoan, the first woman paer of Lleida, by the writer Marta Alòs , both made through all the historical rigor that the existing documentation allows. Journalist Carles Porta ‘s contribution about his beloved Ivars and Vila-sana lake deserves separate mention.
