Gabriela Wiener in conversation with Liliana Colanzi, with the participation of Renata Flores
South to south
–
Colegio de Abogados (auditorio)
The acclaimed and award-winning writer and journalist Gabriela Wiener will talk to Liliana Colanzi about her most recent novel. Wiener is the author of books such as Sexographies, Nine Moons, Llamada perdida, Dicen de mí and Undiscovered. Her new book, Atusparia, presents us with the story of a left-wing politician, a victim of lawfare, imprisoned in a high-security jail in the Amazon rainforest. There, capitalism launches an attack on her ideals, submerging her in a whirlwind of drugs and sex that leads her to undertake an introspective journey to Lake Titicaca, in imitation of her childhood hero. This posindigenista novel exposes hierarchies and power struggles as the forces that undermine the emancipatory movements. With the participation of the musician Renata Flores, famous for fusing Andean music with trap, hip-hop and pop styles, and for writing lyrics in Quechua.
Abdulrazak Gurnah, Chinny Ukata, Astrid Madimba and Natalia Sobrevilla in conversation with Farid Kahhat
