Roundtables: “Barcelona, a Literary Capital of LAC?” and “Meeting of LAC Women Writers in Barcelona”

On 17 September, two literary roundtables were held as part of the LAC–EU Summer School at the University of Barcelona:

The first session, “Barcelona, a Literary Capital of LAC?”, moderated by Marina Lika Uehara (LAC–EU PhD researcher, UB), featured Andreia Moroni (Translator and General Coordinator, Instituto Guimarães Rosa Barcelona) and Eduardo Ruiz Sosa (Writer, Curator of the KM Amèrica Festival, and Editor at Candaya). The discussion explored intersections of literature, language, circulation, and cultural exchange in Barcelona.

The second roundtable, “Meeting of Latin American and Caribbean Women Writers in Barcelona,” brought together Fernanda García Lao (Argentina), Quinny Martínez (Colombia), and Teresa Ruiz Rosas (Peru). Their conversation highlighted diverse literary practices and migrations across Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean—revealing how displacement fosters creative transformation and how writing across languages and borders.
