Since its foundation in 1996,[1] El Malpensante has become one of the main cultural references of Colombia in topics such as literature, cinema, music, art, architecture, design and politics.

The wide variety of paradoxical readings contained in its pages have redefined for a generation of readers what it means to "be malpensante": a brand of literary pleasure, a window to access peculiar and profound views of culture, an innovative publishing firm, a guarantee of quality and credibility.
