Meet the events that the Botanical Garden
has for you this month!
This meeting marks the closing of a cycle of the crying culichis club and the presentation of its second fanzine, the result of collective writing, listening and reflection sessions. Through the reading of some texts, open conversation and collages, we seek to show how grief and writing/reading can become tools to name what hurts, resist the normalization of violence and weave affective networks. The presentation is aimed at young people and adults, interested in memory, collective care and sensitive ways of building community.

The Classic Book Club presents a special two-session edition dedicated to Homer's Odyssey, one of the most influential narratives in literary history. Driven by the enthusiasm generated by the new film adaptation, we will gather to read, discuss, and discover why this epic poem continues to resonate with our present. We will explore the context in which it was written, its characters, symbols, and major themes, as well as the various ways it has been reinterpreted, culminating in contemporary cinema. Whether you read the work years ago, are just discovering it, or the film has piqued your interest, this will be a space for conversation, sharing readings, and finding new ways to approach a classic that, after almost three thousand years, continues to speak to us.
