You are welcome to arrive between 18:30 and 19:00, and we will begin at 19:00 sharp.

We are witnessing gentrification on our island, a destruction of nature and the environment. An exclusion of the lower classes through all the plans to “develop” — privatizing, commodifying, and showcasing our beaches to cater to an exotic ideal for tourists. It is essential to demand something different — so that tomorrow we are not strangers in our own country. Art is a vehicle for protest.

Kargando Narativa, as a literary platform and collective of artists, invites everyone to come and share a dance, poem, rap, song, monologue, story, or memory. Together, our expressions will be a cry of protest against the sale of our land and the restrictions on our access to it. Together, our voices can shake things up and demand change.

The soul is coastal.
