About this plan
The exhibition "Between Birds and Roots: A Living Journal" arrives at the Manuel Zapata Olivella Public Library in Tintal, in the Kennedy district. It invites you to see the city through its smallest living things. The show starts at the Chagra del Alebrije, an urban garden where plants, trees, birds, and insects share space and often go unnoticed in Bogota's noise.
The experience mixes art, science, and memory. Visitors walk the space, record sounds, photograph textures, and sketch what they find. Those pieces later join a collective illustrated catalog built by all guests and the Sala LabCo Tintal team.
It is a free plan for anyone looking for a different cultural activity in southern Bogota, away from the usual fairs, and who wants to connect with the nature that grows inside the city.
What to expect
- Guided walk through the Chagra del Alebrije

It is not required. You can bring a notebook, pencils, or a camera if you want to add to the illustrated catalog, but the space also lends supplies to anyone who arrives without them.
