Gypsy Lounge Open Mic @BackStory Bookshop
Sat, Jul 18, 4:00 PM**Saturday, July 18th at 18:00.** Welcome to another wonderful event at [Backstory] Bookshop, celebrating poetry, storytelling, and music! 🎙️Gypsy Lounge is a monthly open mic and a celebration of diversity, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re eager to share your latest work or simply soak up the atmosphere of artistic expression, Gypsy Lounge is your space. Artist sign-ups will take place on the evening of the event. Just come by at around 17:45, on the evening of the open mic. The first 9 artists will get to sign up. Each artist will have up to 6-7 minutes to share their work. Performance slots are limited**,** so please come early. Also, this event is not managed by BackStory, so if you have any questions, please DM @gypsy_loungebcn on Instagram. A gentle reminder for attendees: The beauty of an open mic is the unpredictability of content. As we do not moderate performer choices, some material may be best suited for adult ears. Those attending with children, please keep this in mind. **Sign-ups:** On arrival, on a first-come basis.
Picnic and journaling with poetry: A Mary Oliver special
Thu, Jul 30, 4:30 PMHi all ☀️ This is our summer special edition, and we're changing the formula a little. Instead of focusing on a specific theme, we'll read **a selection of poems by Mary Oliver**, one of the most beloved nature poets, and **let each poem inspire our individual journaling and reflective writing**. And what better place for this than a small, green, quiet oasis in the city? 🌿 As always, this gathering is for anyone curious enough to explore their inner world on the page, **you definitely don't need to be a "writer" to attend.** Bring your curiosity, a pen, your notebook, and a snack to share with the group ✨ Looking forward to spending a summer afternoon writing together!

Taller de escritura creativa. Martes
Tue, Jul 14, 4:30 PM¡Bienvenido a nuestro **taller de relato corto** de los martes! No importa si tienes experiencia o si acabas de empezar. Todo lo que necesitas es algo para escribir y ganas de pasar un rato agradable compartiendo tu pasión por la escritura. El moderador plantea una consigna y da entre 20 y 30 minutos con el objetivo de que estructures un relato (poema, reflexión, ensayo...). Después cada participante lee su texto en voz alta y lo comentamos entre todos. Una manera divertida de mantener en forma el «músculo» creativo y de encontrar tu propia voz literaria, mientras aprendemos unos de otros. Taquilla inversa, según satisfacción. Los beneficios son para ayudar al mantenimiento de la asociación.
Writing Quick and Dirty
Sat, Jul 25, 9:00 AMThis meetup is for anyone—anyone at all—who enjoys playing around with words. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and demands expression. After we have finished writing, you will be invited to share your piece with the group (totally optional, but the feedback can be fun). The feedback (this is the only part with rules): Responses should be in the form of what stayed with you, what you remembered from the piece, what resonated with you. This is NOT a writing or craft class; there is no good or bad here. Critiques or suggestions miss the point. This is new, tender writing, and we honor it as such. All writing is considered fictional. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write about literally anything and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character. Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.
