La Fábrica de Poesía / The Poetry Factory is a creative space for children aged 7-12. Led by a mother-and-son duo, this project was born from a family love for writing and making. At The Factory, "poetry" stands for fantasy, freedom, and connection; children play with words, explore their imagination, and experience the joy of bringing their ideas to life. Each gathering can be enjoyed by itself or as part of an ongoing journey. The Factory is active both in Spanish and as a multilingual event.

Creative Writing Workshop: Blueprints of the Latin American Fantastic

upcoming

• Fall 2026 - Arbis, Helsinki. Weekly meetings on Mondays 16.30-18.00 from Sep 7th to Dec 7th. REGISTRATION starts on Aug 11th via Ilmonet.fi.

Step into the unsettling world of the Latin American "Fantastic" to discover the technical blueprints behind its modern masterpieces. In this workshop, we analyze and practice the craft of both short fiction and poetry, decoding the methods of 20th-century icons like Julio Cortázar, Clarice Lispector, and Rafael Cadenas. Through imitative writing exercises, participants learn to subvert reality and expand their creative toolkit within a vibrant, transgressive heritage.
