Illuminated by Reality: An Interview with Giselle Munizaga (1938–2025)

Abstract

In July 2020, shortly after the release of CENECA. Studies for a Cultural Transformation, a collection of articles jointly published by Écfrasis and Metales Pesados, Sebastián Valenzuela, the volume’s coordinator, contacted me with a proposal. Lorena Antezana and I had co-authored a piece included in the book on the figure of Giselle Munizaga, and Sebastián was looking to produce some material that could serve for outreach and potentially be part of the launch, which would be held virtually, as we were in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown.
