About this plan

Bogotá has a plan that brings together reading, memory, and craft, and it goes by the name 'Indigenous Voices: Women Weaving Identity'. It is an open gathering at the La Victoria Public Library, set up to talk about Indigenous women writers in Colombia and to hear directly what topics the women who write from their communities are exploring today. The session is part of BibloRed's 'Reading the World' series and creates space to listen to their narratives, their struggles, and their knowledge.

The afternoon also has a hands-on side. Attendees keep working on soporopos, small paper objects used to tell stories. It is a simple way to move from the spoken word to a craft, and to recognize the voices of women from the southeast of the city.

Entry is free, so it is a good chance to engage with Colombian literature written by Indigenous women without filters or formalities. Just confirm the date and time on the official BibloRed page.

What to expect

  • Talk on Indigenous women writers in Colombia
  • Reading and conversation around their narratives
  • Continuation of soporopo making
  • A caring, listening space for women
  • Free entry open to the public

Who it's for

It works well for women in the area, readers curious about Indigenous literature, students, teachers, and anyone who wants to join a cultural space built on close listening in southeast Bogotá.

Tips

  • Arrive a few minutes early to get a good seat, since these sessions tend to fill the library.
  • Bring a notebook and pen if you want to take notes or sketch your own soporopo.
  • Check the BibloRed page for directions to La Victoria Library and confirm the exact time of the event.
