Workshop with Carolina Garzón Blanco

Musical biographies

Cartagena 2025, 
The Cartagena-raised Carolina Garzón Blanco is a graphic designer, author and illustrator of a number of books, including La herencia de nuestros mayores, a collection of stories about the Colombian Pacific; Bonito que canta, about the childhood of the great singer-songwriter, Petrona Martínez; and Agüela, se fue la nuna, a children’s book written by the poet Mary Grueso. In this workshop, participants will listen to three musical tracks and, based on them, select characters narrated in the songs to create their own literary characters.
