La CaSSaDaGa meant to chronicle my various journalistic and creative writing (#poetry & #fiction) endeavours. The project quickly evolved to also become the main cross+street where Colombian talent meets the world’s. La CaSSaDaGa’s new mission is to also share with an English-speaking, int’l audience the diverse, creative talents of budding Colombian artists and introduce Colombians to the emerging, non-mainstream talents of the world. From one CaSSaDaGaN to another, welcome and bienvenidos to mi CaSSa. Don't forget to remove your shoes -- we walk barefoot around here.
