Malba Writers Residence. The Malba Writers Residence Programme is intended for foreign writers, offering them the opportunity to stay 5 weeks in Buenos Aires as part of their professional and artistic development. Each year two editions will be made during the months of April-May and October- November and a third edition in August – September through the RE- AC/E program, for Spanish writers. REM stands as a forum for dialogue and literary creation, not only through the work and presence of prestigious writers and specialists residing in the country, but also through annual activities and events.
