Can you make Death laugh?

“In Mexico, we celebrate life by laughing at death. Discover the tradition of Calaveritas Literarias: witty poems that gently poke fun at friends, family, famous people… or even yourself!” – Ale Bravo

Join us for a relaxed and creative workshop where you’ll write your own humorous Calaverita. No writing experience needed, just bring your imagination and a sense of humour! Artist Ale Bravo will guide you through the session with friendship and warmth.

We’ll give you a glass of wine or a soft drink on arrival and there’ll be plenty of Mexican snacks to eat throughout the evening, as well as the chance to purchase additional drinks.
