Juan Gabriel Vásquez and Selva Almada in conversation with Nelson Jiménez

Explorers, dreamers and thieves

Cartagena 2024, 
In 2022, the Hay Festival and the British Museum teamed up to create the anthology Volver a contar: escritores de América Latina en los archivos del Museo Británico, in which a group of ten writers delved into narratives on the past using a collection of Latin American objects in the museum, a collection never seen by the public. In 2023 we present the anthology Exploradores, soñadores y ladrones, in which six fiction writers visit the museum’s collection to come up with a new compilation of texts that question and reimagine the predominant narratives, with the writer Juan Gabriel Vásquez (Colombia) and the novelist Selva Almada (Argentina), in conversation with Nelson Jiménez.
