Over five sessions, participants in Natalia Chamorro's workshop turned their own memories into stories and collected them into an anthology; this reading is where they share them aloud. It's a small, heartfelt event rooted in one of Queens' most vibrant Latin American neighborhoods, supported by Flushing Town Hall's Artists in Queens program. If you speak Spanish and love personal storytelling, it's a genuinely local way to spend a Friday morning.
