Backstory Talks: Patricia Evangelista

We are deeply honored to welcome acclaimed journalist and documentary filmmaker Patricia Evangelista to Backstory Bookshop as part of her residency in Barcelona with the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). Her visit is made possible through the CCCB’s international residency programme, organized in collaboration with the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and with the support of the Fundació Privada Mir-Puig.

Patricia Evangelista’s fearless reporting has given voice to those caught in the crossfire of violence, disaster, and systemic abuse. Her presence at Backstory is an important moment to engage with urgent questions of power, accountability, and resistance.

The event will feature a conversation between journalist Meaghan Beatley and the author, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
