Palabras at Latinx with Plants celebrates BIPOC poets + writers for intercultural community building.Come enjoy an afternoon with Palabras Literary Salon, a BIPOC-centered literary community event co-hosted with Latinx with Plants, in the open air greenhouse in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.Our January 2025 edition of Palabras Literary Salon features author Cassandra Lane and the theme “retreat.” From Cassandra: Exploring the collective side of retreat: how stepping back from certain platforms is a way of stepping toward each other, creating a foundation from which artists and writers can rebuild stronger, more grounded networks. It’s a quiet but powerful rebellion—a retreat with the intention to heal, strengthen, and protect our artistic integrity and community. An empowering act for those feeling frustrated or disenfranchised by the social and political landscape, offering a vision of retreat that’s hopeful, intentional, and resilient.Invited guest readers include Pallavi Dhawan, Benin Lemus, Jose Rios, Henry Medina, Ramy El-Etreby, James Evert Jones, and more to be announced.This event is volunteer-run and grassroots-driven.Please kindly help us with your early RSVP here to attend and join in the facilitated discussion.
