SON[I]A #302. Manuel Sanfuentes about Amereida and Ciudad Abierta
Deleted scenes
We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with Chilean poet Manuel Sanfuentes about Amereida and Ciudad abierta that we were unable to include the first time around. Amereida emerged from a journey undertaken by a group of poets, architects, and philosophers from Tierra del Fuego to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in the course of 1965, and concluded with the collective and utopian project of Ciudad Abierta, in Valparaiso.

Zenaida Osorio provides a critical reading of the official account of Radio Sutatenza and of the representations of peasants in the archive. Through this case study, Zenaida reflects on the contrast between the national images (in this case Colombian) that are considered legitimate by networks of civil servants, media producers, and academic researchers.
Manuel Sanfuentes on Amereida and Ciudad Abierta
The Chilean poet Manuel Sanfuentes talks about Amereida, which emerged from a journey undertaken by a group of poets, architects, and philosophers from Tierra del Fuego to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in the course of 1965. Years later, the experience resulted in Ciudad Abierta, a series of experimental, imagined, collaboratively-built constructions and practices jutting out of vast expanse of dunes, estuaries, and gorges bordering on the Pacific Ocean.
