This is an invitation to listen to a live reading of stories by migrants—a gathering to share and create a space for dialogue with the audience.

For the past seven years, the En Paraules collective [migrant stories] has been a space for writing, memory-building, and community for migrants and refugees living in Barcelona. Through creative writing workshops, a polyphony of voices has emerged, narrating the experience of migration from an intimate, literary, and human perspective. These authors present an experience that includes a live reading and an interaction with the audience, to share reflections and stories about migration and words.
