A Voice for Peace, Concord, and Harmony: The XV International Poetry Festival in Philadelphia will virtually congregate poets from Latin America and the United States in an evening of verse and music.

The Free Library, Acción Colombia, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese,Temple University, and the Penn Museum are collaborating together to present this community event.

Leity Rodríguez, Director of Acción Colombia, mentioned that “The goal of this type of creative event is to build solidarity, cohesion and inclusion in our Latino and immigrant communities; also, to invite other communities that speak, write or are interested in learning the Spanish language.” In addition, she added, “When we share creative events, we empower our communities, make any community proud of their culture and feel part of the community where we live.”
