Retina en dos tiempos

In the context of the exhibition 1 gota de lluvia sobre el polvo, by Carmen Huízar, the Museo de Arte de Zapopan presents Retina en dos tiempos, a writing workshop led by Katia Isabel Álvarez.

Starting from a visit to the exhibition 1 gota de lluvia sobre el polvo, writing exercises will be carried out to produce texts that rehearse the transience of the human, as well as the threshold between life and death. In the workshop, changes in bodies, the places we inhabit, territory and its temporalities will be addressed, including that which is perceived as permanent. The session will close with a public reading aloud of the resulting texts.

Katia Isabel Álvarez is a teacher and writer. She teaches Literature at the high school level and has developed writing workshops based on images, drawing, oral storytelling, and reading. She published the stories Pecera de tierra (2019) in UNAM's Punto en línea magazine and Coral (2019) in the anthology Los Excéntricos from Editorial Lapicero Rojo. She wrote the essay Entomología de una casa (2021) for NYU's Temporales magazine and has produced poems and embroidered fanzines through her project Isabel Bordada (2022-2024). Her most recent publication is the story Un recuerdo lejano (2025) in the anthology En una trama infinita, edited by Librobjeto Editorial.
