SUMMARY:Words in Flight: Poetic Workshop with Lina Botero
DESCRIPTION:Explore Poetic Creation at the Words in Flight Workshop\nFirstly\, Marpoética 2026 invites you to explore the depths of your creativity. Acclaimed artist Lina Botero will lead the “Words in Flight” workshop at the Central Library in Marbella. Specifically\, this immersive experience encourages participants to explore their subconscious through experimental writing techniques. The session offers a unique environment where random words and images transform into powerful poetic expressions. \nThe workshop consists of three distinct creative phases. Initially\, participants engage in automatic writing exercises to free their thoughts and discover the unexpected. Following this\, the group collects shared words in a creative circle. This process allows participants to turn collective inspiration into personal poetic texts. Consequently\, the workshop bridges the gap between communal energy and individual voice. \nBuilding Narrative through Images\nMoreover\, the final phase introduces visual elements into the creative process. Participants select photographs from a curated collection to build a story or a poem. This exercise focuses on constructing a poetic self-portrait that acts as a foundational myth for the creator. By connecting words with images\, the workshop frees artists from traditional constraints. Therefore\, it fosters an environment where impulse and imagination drive the entire creative journey. \nFinally\, this event celebrates the power of surrealism and experimentation. It is a perfect opportunity for those looking to expand their literary horizons in a supportive setting. Join the cultural community in Marbella for a two-hour journey into the heart of poetic imagination. \nEvent Schedule and Venue\n\nDate: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM (11:00 – 13:00)\nVenue: Biblioteca Central Fernando Alcalá Marín\nLocation: Parque de la Constitución\, Marbella\nPrice: Free Entry (Prior registration required)\n\n\nRegistration and Ticket Information\nOfficial Registration: Reserve Your Spot on Marpoética \nEvent Details: View on TeVienes
