Santiago, city of literature

With the capital as guest of honor at one of the most important publishing events in Latin America, we interviewed four of its protagonists: the renowned Raúl Zurita and Elicura Chihuailaf; along with two important writers, Carla Guelfenbein and Ariel Richards. In addition, we share a series of videos made by Fundación Imagen de Chile that portray different places in our city, inspired by the thematic axes with which Santiago is presented in FIL Buenos Aires 2023, until Sunday, May 29.
