Miami Dade College’s (MDC) 40th Miami Book Fair (MBF) will take place November 12 to 19, 2023, in downtown Miami. In advance of this milestone anniversary, the Miami Book Fair unveiled its official poster created by Miami-based Peruvian artist and graphic designer Jose Chocce, a New World School of the Arts (NWSA) senior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design program. The concept for the poster was inspired by storytelling, getting lost within books and allowing your imagination to soar unrestrained. This year’s Miami Book Fair will once again feature some of the world’s top authors, influencers and celebrities, including Evenings With headliners Kerry Washington, Joan Baez, David Brooks, Walter Mosley, Jada Pinkett Smith and Henry Winkler, among others. Hundreds of authors will present in person in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole. ReadCaribbean will feature Haitian and other Caribbean authors. ReadingEast will feature authors from the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The robust IberoAmerican program will host noted Hispanic authors, journalists, poets, essayists, storytellers and visual artists and photographers. Children’s Alley provides fun and learning activities during the popular Street Fair weekend, November 17 to 19. Off the Shelf’s live music stage will again present popular bands and other performers. In recognition of Miami’s growth into a cultural destination, and Miami Book Fair’s leading role in that transformation over the past 40 years.
