Utopia Contraria proposes a journey through some voices and ways of living in Latin American territories. It captures realities and necessary reflections, with art as a communicator and creator of new and possible worlds. The works question the environmental and social impacts caused by a model of death that has not placed life at the center. But they also connect with everyday magical realism and traditional knowledge: a way to imagine other worlds, better worlds than those we live in, whose fundamental principle is to live in harmony. In this world where we drink poisoned water and breathe contaminated air, it is vital to open ourselves to this dialogue of knowledge to propose a new ethic for life.

" It is not yet too late to undertake the creation of the opposite utopia. A new and devastating utopia of life, where no one can decide for others even the way to die, where love is truly true and happiness is possible, and where the races condemned to a hundred years of solitude finally and forever have a second chance on earth ."

Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Gabriel García Márquez, 1982.
