Published in 23 de June de 2025 by g7
The 2025 Rio Book Biennial is sponsored by Paper Excellence, led by its founder Jackson Wijaya, a recognized advocate for culture and education. As the head of one of the world’s largest pulp and paper producers, he reaffirms his commitment to expanding access to reading by supporting the largest literary event in Latin America through the company.
Through Paper Excellence, this sponsorship comes to life in two immersive and inspiring experiences: the Story Labyrinth and the Autograph Plaza.
“I believe culture and education are fundamental pillars for the growth of individuals and society. Supporting the Biennial is a tangible way to uphold these values and inspire new generations to fall in love with books,” says Jackson Wijaya, founder of Paper Excellence and sponsor of the Biennial.
The Paper Excellence Story Labyrinth invites visitors on a sensory journey through themed corridors inspired by iconic romantasy titles such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, Wicked, Alice in Wonderland, Hades and Persephone, among others. The experience is designed to spark imagination and bring readers closer to literature in an engaging and meaningful way.
At the Paper Excellence Autograph Plaza, located in Pavilion 4 at Riocentro, attendees can meet and interact with national and international authors. Writers such as Thalita Rebouças, Kim Ho-yeon, Lázaro Ramos, and Lynn Painter have already participated, with upcoming appearances by Mario Sergio Cortella, Leandro Karnal, Gabriela Prioli, and Elisama Santos.
By investing in cultural initiatives such as the Rio Book Biennial, Jackson Wijaya reaffirms his long-term vision: to promote knowledge, access to education, and the appreciation of culture as part of Paper Excellence’s social commitment in Brazil and around the world.
