About this plan
If you like art, hands-on experimentation, and creative craft, the Cinemateca de Bogota is hosting the workshop 'Exploration and Creation: Techno-Poetic Bestiary.' It is a fresh option for anyone looking for unusual things to do in Bogota. Across several sessions, you will build imaginary creatures with paper, simple mechanisms, and basic electronics. You will bring them to life with light, movement, and sound.
The process draws on fantastical bestiaries, kinetic art, and handmade technology. Each participant develops a hybrid creature, and the pieces come together in a group exhibition at the end. The workshop is open to people aged 17 and over who are curious about prototyping, origami, and tinkering with electronics. Attendees who join at least six sessions receive a certificate.
