Rosa Berbel (Seville, 1997) has been selected for this residency in Buenos Aires with the support of Acción Cultural Española. The possibility for one of the five selected writers to be of Spanish nationality arises from the common objective of the Malba Writers' Residency and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) to promote the internationalization of creators from Spain and Argentina, and to build bridges of collaboration with authors, editors, and managers from both countries.

Gabriel Pericàs is the artist selected for the Gasworks Residency, supported by AC/E, aimed at artists in the early stages of their career based in Spain, and lasting 11 weeks fully funded at Gasworks (London) on 7 from April to June 23, 2025. 

Gabriel Pericàs' interdisciplinary practice explores the social life of objects, materials and substances, with special attention to those that seem ambiguous in their form, use or meaning. Through interconnected approaches: long-term text-based research processes, sculpture, editorial experiments, he observes and explores the physical aspects of materials and the discursive devices we use to think about them.

Ana Pez is the illustrator selected for this residency, organized by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) and the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image, with the collaboration of the French Embassy in Spain, which takes place in La Maison des Auteurs de Angoulême (France) for six months, between January and June 2025.

Ana Pez (Madrid, 1987) began illustrating in 2012 for the publishing world and since then she has not stopped collaborating with national and international publishers.Her work has been selected and exhibited among others at the Mostra degli Illustratoride Bologna (Italy), the Ilustrarte Biennial (Portugal) and the Ibero-American Catalog of Illustration (Mexico).
