Abstract: Diversity characterises today's societies, in which concepts such as miscegenation and hybridisation are defining features of the contemporary. Madrid, the only European capital of Arab foundation (Mayrit) responds to this pattern and people of very diverse origins coexist and dialogue in it. This round table will deal with the ways in which Arabs are represented and the way in which this representation is expressed in communication and in the field of creation. A round table in which the particularities of Spanish society with a common secular history with the Arab-Islamic world are analysed. Topics addressed in a conversation between Nuria Medina, Casa Árabe's culture coordinator, Yolanda Álvarez, a journalist with long experience in the Middle East and author of the book "Naúfragos sin Tierra", Said Messari, a visual artist born in Tetuán (Morocco) and Muhsin Al Ramli, a writer born in Sedira (Iraq).
