Ecotopías, una aproximación

Ecotopías, una aproximación

Fri, Jul 10, 5:00 PM
From Librería La Malinche
4.8

El presente taller ofrece un panorama de lecturas que abarca la poesía, el cuento, el ensayo y la divulgación científica con el fin de explorar el concepto de “ecotopía” de Francisco Serratos. Para ello, se propondrán textos de lectura individual que establecerán un diálogo con la red literaria expuesta en cada sesión. Estos escenarios de “futurabilidad” (en términos de Franco “Bifo” Berardi), donde la naturaleza adquiere un lugar fundamental, se agruparán en tres apartados: flora, fauna, y funga. Leeremos textos de Maricela Guerrero, Eliana Hernández, Susana Villalba, Andrés Cota Hiriart y más. 🪼 Info e inscripción: lamalinchelibreria@gmail.com 💌

Coffee Connections

Coffee Connections

Fri, Jul 10, 9:00 AM
From Backstory English Bookshop - Events
4.7

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).
