KM América is the literary festival that forges connections between Latin America and Barcelona. Each edition brings together emerging and established voices in venues across the city, with intimate gatherings, open readings and thought-provoking workshops. The festival links literary creation with the local cultural scene, making Barcelona a place of passage, encounter and dialogue. An opportunity to discover new writing, catch emerging trends early and be surprised by stories that travel across continents.
This is good to know
Most festival activities are free and open to all, subject to venue capacity.
Some grow out of collaboration between independent publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. KM América also acts as a publishing radar – where the writers who will soon be essential reading in the city’s bookshops are first discovered.
