Free exhibitions and films to enjoy in Buenos Aires this September

Buenos Aires is filling September with free ways to see art, photography and cinema, offering residents a cultural agenda that does not require a large budget.

At Palacio Libertad, exhibitions will be open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The program includes “Laberinto: intervenciones visuales inspiradas en Borges,” a series of visual interventions across the building, on view through Sept. 27. “Lo que la luz no puede. Fotofilia en fotofobia” will remain open through Oct. 11.

The venue will also present “Tita Merello. Una diva plebeya,” devoted to one of Argentina’s most emblematic cultural figures. Other exhibitions include “No me quedan más lágrimas,” by Mariela Yeregui, and “Joyeros argentinos,” a project by the Argentine Crafts Market. All are part of the venue’s free September program.

Another exhibition, “Un edificio entre dos mundos. La historia del antiguo Palacio de Correos,” explores the history of the building that now houses Palacio Libertad. It will remain open through December and does not require advance booking.

Cinema takes over Fridays at 6 p.m. at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, with the “Viernes de Hitchcock” series. The free screenings include “Cuéntame tu vida,” “Vértigo,” “Psicosis” and “Frenesí,” although visitors must reserve a place. The museum’s regular exhibitions and other film cycles will continue during the month. MALBA will then celebrate its 25th anniversary with special programming from Sept. 17 to 21. Admission will be free on Sept. 19, 20 and 21.
