Hamja Ahsan and Ekaitz Cancela in conversation with Giacomo Roncagliolo

On utopias

Arequipa 2024, 

We talk about utopias with two contemporary thinkers who also reflect on technology. Ekaitz Cancela Rodríguez (Spain), author of Utopías digitales, is a journalist, editor of The Syllabus, publishes articles in El Salto, and is one of the founders and managers of Radical Books, the cooperative that publishes Verso Libros and Manifest Llibres. In Tímidos radicales, the artist and activist Hamja Ahsan (United Kingdom) proposes a utopia: a state for calm, introverted people on the autism spectrum, whose national anthem is the sound of a sea snail, and where the wealth of contemplation, reflective solitude and intimate company is celebrated. In conversation with Giacomo Roncagliolo.
