Cartagena 2026, 

Federico Guzmán (Mexico) won the 2022 Michael Jacobs Travel Writing Grant with his project Sí hay tal lugar: viaje a las ruinas de las utopías latinoamericanas. To write the book, he travelled to seven places in Latin America which have been the sites of utopian projects: Fordlandia, Pátzcuaro, Nueva Germania….Jordan Salama (USA) travelled the length of the River Magdalena, from its source to its mouth, writing a log of the past and present of Colombia’s most important river. The two authors will talk about their writings with Jaime Abello Banfi.
