The Paraguayan-German Cultural Institute – Goethe-Zentrum in Asunción is set to host a new exhibition titled "¿De dónde nacen los cuentos?" (Where Do Stories Come From?). The collective presentation will feature works developed at the Editorial Illustration Lab (LEI), directed by Amelí Schneider.

The exhibition offers a glimpse into the creation of illustrated children's storybooks, showcasing not only the finished pieces but also the various stages of their development. It aims to explore the synergy between writing and drawing, demonstrating how these two languages can work together to build narratives and worlds for younger audiences.

"¿De dónde nacen los cuentos?" emphasizes illustration as a narrative and expressive language in its own right, rather than merely a visual accompaniment to text. The featured artists include Amelí Schneider, Ana Bría Caballero, Araceli Balbuena, Adri Duarte, Juan Florenciáñez, Alejandra Siquot, Camila Jara, Juana Lartigue, Yana Vallejo, Marité Zaldivar, Dahi Martínez, and Brígida Jude.

The exhibition's inauguration is scheduled for Friday, August 14, at 7:00 PM at the Instituto Cultural Paraguayo-Alemán – Goethe-Zentrum, located at Juan de Salazar 310 near Artigas Avenue in Asunción. Admission to the event is free.
