We invite you to this space to meet each other from the bordes.
Un territorio para leer y leernos en una lengua que nos sujeta a un lugar cuya geografía es cada vez más movediza, que se desplaza y nos desplaza a habitarnos en las palabras.
A territory for reading and being read in a language that binds us to a place whose geography grows ever more fluid — a language that shifts and shifts us, until we come to inhabit ourselves in words.
If you wish to participate, all genres welcome, all levels welcome.
We encourage you to do so in Spanish or in other languages.
This is a call for poets, storytellers, filmmakers, photographers, playwrights, actors, and creators in general to get in touch and be part of the monthly program of this space.
This Thursday, October 30, join us for a bilingual poetry reading with poet María Paz Moreno, followed by an open mic (all languages welcome).
