La tercera noche cerró con alabaos por parte de Crecencia Ancestral.✨💜 Fabiola Torres, la voz líder de los alabaos en el Chocó nos honró con su presentación y su grupo de jóvenes que heredan esta tradición cultural afrocolombiana.

Durante el tercer día las conversaciones abordaron la transición del periodismo a la literatura, la importancia del bilingüismo para juntar orillas, honraron la vida y obra de Arnoldo Palacios y las obras literarias de
María Fernanda Fitzgerald y Jairo Buitrago. #FlechoQuibdó

También durante el segundo día de #FlechoQuibdó
@KiannyAntigua nos sacudió con las narraciones de sus microcuentos y nos abrió a la realidad de cómo vive el proceso de creación de cada una de sus obras.

El segundo día, transitamos entre el ritmo exótico y el house. Las conversaciones fueron sobre procesos afrodiásporicos a través de la literatura; la poesía y su fuerza catalizadora; la incidencia de @usaidcolombia y @agendacaf en el territorio; el libro 'Las distancias'...👉🏾
