About this plan

The Arborizadora Alta Public Library hosts the third meeting of "Memory, Bogotá, and Embroidery," a workshop for older adults who want to share their memories of the city while learning basic embroidery techniques. The sessions run on Tuesdays in September at 2:00 p.m. No experience is needed, just a willingness to stitch and talk.

For this third session, thread meets music. Each participant brings favorite songs to talk about Bogotá through what plays on the radio, at parties, or in the living room. The event is free, calm, and deeply human. It works well for anyone looking for a cultural space in the south of the city.

What to expect

  • Free workshop for older adults
  • Session focused on songs and memories of Bogotá
  • Step by step basic embroidery technique
  • Space for conversation and collective memory
  • No prior experience required

Who it's for

This plan works well for older adults who want to share their memories of Bogotá, for residents of Arborizadora Alta, and for families looking for a free cultural afternoon.

Tips

  • Arrive a few minutes before 2:00 p.m. to settle in and meet the group
  • Bring your own thread, needles, or an old garment to embroider if you have them. The workshop usually provides materials
  • Write down songs that remind you of Bogotá before the session so you can join the conversation more
  • Check with BibloRed to see if more senior club sessions will follow in October
