## About this plan

Have you ever stopped to listen to how people in your neighborhood talk? The writing lab "Las voces que habitan el barrio" invites you to do exactly that. Watch and listen closely, then turn everyday language into literary characters.

The session focuses on character work without leaning on physical appearance. Through listening and observation exercises, you will see how the gestures, words, and ways of moving of the people around you can become living material for your stories.

It is a different plan on Bogotá's cultural calendar. It is free, it takes place in a public library, and it is built for writers, curious readers, and anyone who wants to write better.

- Urban listening and observation exercises
- Character building drawn from voice and gestures
- Free activity with advance sign-up
- Session held at Biblioteca Usaquén Servitá
