These workshops will be held on February 14 and 15, as part of a new initiative at the event that seeks to introduce children to literature. This initiative includes bilingual workshops on the following themes: The Game of Writing, led by Bernardo Govea; Playing with Language; Without Saying “Fear” by Antolina Ortiz Moore and the presentation of the show Legends Told by the Wind.
They have also announced the selection of the work for the Festival’s Great Reading, which will be graced by a novel written by Andrés Neuman entitled “Until It Begins to Shine,” which reconstructs the intimate, intellectual, and rebellious story of María Moliner, from her childhood to the creation of the Dictionary of Spanish Usage, revealing how each word can be a spark of memory and resistance.
The writers’ gathering, whose theme this year is “Doors to the World,” promotes literary production and reading through an event that offers conferences and workshops for students and writers of all ages, levels, and genres. It is multicultural and bilingual.
Armida Zepeda, the festival’s director, shared that the event includes a wide variety of workshops covering disciplines such as poetry, narrative, screenwriting, and short stories. Furthermore, it is a bilingual gathering with a tricultural character, promoting exchange between Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
