Pilar Quintana and Laura Restrepo in conversation with Adriana Martínez

The Biblioteca de Escritoras Colombianas is an ambitious project run by the Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia and the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledges, which seeks to build a more equal and plural canon. With editorial management by Pilar Quintana, the library presented its second edition in early 2025, with ten anthologies of different genres, including 97 women authors. One of them, the writer Laura Restrepo, will talk about this collective initiative of literary memory with Adriana Martínez.

All events on Sunday, January 1st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
