Imagin Latin America - Untold Microcosms

Imagina Latinoamérica (Imagine Latin America) is a series of 10 digital and face-to-face talks, in collaboration with Open Society Foundations and with the support of CAF -banco de desarrollo de América Latina-, that will be held from June 2022 to January 2023. This talks will be available at our web page and on social media channels of Hay Festival and El País, media partner of the project.

Historical narratives about Latin America have usually arisen out of the colonial imagination. The Volver a contar: Historias latinoamericanas en el Museo Británico project, a collaboration between the Hay Festival and the Santo Domingo Centre of Excellence for Latin American Research (SDCELAR) at the British Museum, seeks to problematize and redirect these narratives, creating new discourses through the interpretations of objects in the museum’s Americas collection by artists, writers and thinkers from the region. This is a very necessary re-reading of our past in order to build a more plural and inclusive future. With Lina Meruane, Dolores Reyes and Velia Vidal.
