The jury of the IV Mediterranean Albert Camus Prize convened in Menorca on May 3, 2024. Composed of Javier Gomá, who acts as its president, and N’Goné Fall, Miquel Molina, José Luis Pérez Pont and Anne Prouteau, it has decided to unanimously award Alfredo Jaar the IV Mediterranean Albert Camus Prize.
A universal artist who transcends territories and cultures. A creator whose work, in constant resonance with the convulsions of the world, opens the doors to possible futures.
Always respecting others, in a commitment to the service of social justice, his poetic work reaches all audiences, sparks dialogue and provides keys to understanding the world.
Like Camus, Alfredo Jaar does not conceive of art as “a solitary pleasure, but as a means to move the greatest number of people. He also stands out for his fidelity to his vocation as an artist, to his convictions, so to speak, “to his work as a human being.”
