FILBA Buenos Aires

A free, multi-venue international literature festival that moves between cultural centers, a museum and independent bookstores across Buenos Aires each spring, pairing Argentine and international authors in conversations, readings, workshops and literary walking tours rather than a book-fair trade floor, with venues clustered in neighborhoods like Recoleta and Palermo and run by Fundacion FILBA, which has organized literary events in the city for well over a decade.

Fundacion FILBA scatters its literature festival across roughly half a dozen venues instead of concentrating it in one hall, so the program moves a visitor between a converted cultural center, a university auditorium, an art museum and an independent bookstore over the course of a few days.
