About this plan
Bogotá en mi piel is a cycle of memories and neighborhood stories held at Biblioteca Pública Virgilio Barco. Members of the Club de Personas Mayores and the wider community come together to talk about their neighborhoods, childhood games, beloved characters, and how the streets they walk every day have changed. The goal is to turn conversation into something alive, using movement, spoken word, and writing as the main tools.
The cycle is about more than remembering. Each session uses theater exercises, shared readings, and short performance pieces so that personal stories meet the larger history of the city. If you care about the Bogotá built through everyday conversation, this free event in Teusaquillo is a great place to start.
