Aljamía 2026

The Aljamía cycle provides the ideal setting for publishers, translators, academics from Los Angeles County and surrounding counties to meet with Spanish-language writers. Southern California is a particularly active region in terms of the publication and reception of literature originally written in Spanish, and the Institute's initiative aims to facilitate the transition to English for well-known authors in this large area of the United States through meetings with professionals linked to both cultural languages. In its 2026 edition in Los Angeles, authors such as Brenda Navarro, Pascal Brodsky, Judith Santopietro, Fátima Villalta, Irene Rodrigo, Florencia del Campo, Luna Miguel, Lorea Canales, Andres Felipe Solano, and Matías Candeira will participate throughout the year, either in person or online, in specific programs in collaboration with publishers, universities, and literary centers in the area.
