## About this plan

Breaking the Word is a gathering that takes a close look at Colombian poetry and shows how different generations have reshaped it. The session focuses on the legacy of Nadaism, the 1960s movement that shook literature with humor, irreverence, and a hunger to question everything.

The event includes readings, conversations, and creative exercises that move through other Colombian poetic traditions, from Indigenous and Afro-Colombian voices to dirty realism and writings that break with traditional forms. It is an open invitation to read, write, and see the world from less explored angles.

The meeting takes place at the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Public Library in Suba, with free entry. Arrive early to grab a seat and bring a notebook if you want to join the writing exercises.
