# Your Writing & Research Residency in Argentina

**Hosted by:** Residencia Corazón

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina | **Deadline:** October 15, 2026

## About This Program

> "Self-directed writing, literary translation and research in La Plata"

Residencia Corazón is a writing and artist residency located in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina — a vibrant university city one hour from Buenos Aires by train, home to UNLP, one of the largest public universities in Latin America. Since 2006, we have hosted writers, curators, researchers and visual artists from more than 30 countries.

Our Writing Journey program is designed for writers who need time and a different context to work. What that means in practice varies: some writers come to disappear into a project for weeks with minimal contact with anyone. Others find that sharing a house with visual artists, photographers and researchers from different parts of the world opens something unexpected in their work. Both are fine. We do not impose a way of working — we try to understand what each writer needs and make that possible.

We welcome novelists, poets, essayists, playwrights, screenwriters, literary translators, researchers and interdisciplinary practitioners. We particularly welcome literary translators working on Argentine or Latin American literature into any language — La Plata offers direct access to the literary community, academic institutions and archives that support that work.

We are not a workshop or a conference. There are no faculty, panels or scheduled critiques. Juan Pablo and Rodrigo — the directors — are available throughout the stay: to talk about the project, to connect the writer with someone useful in the city, or simply to handle the practical aspects of daily life in La Plata. Writers who prefer to work in complete independence will find that respected. Writers who want more contact, more connection to the local scene, more dialogue about what they are making — that is available too.
