## About this plan

Looking for free things to do in Bogotá this month? Put this plan on your list. 'Palabras y ritmos callejeros' is a writing lab that takes the city's sounds seriously. The meeting point is Biblioteca Pública Soledad Lamprea, in the Perdomo neighborhood, a BibloRed space built for reading the world through listening.

The workshop starts with a simple question: what music lives in a street, a plaza, or a neighborhood? Through poems, chronicles, songs, and images, you will see how street vendor calls, melodies, and silences also tell the story of a place. It is a great fit if you care about literature, rap, urban chronicles, or just want to see Bogotá with fresh ears.
