Begin in Aracataca
Aracataca is García Márquez’s birthplace and an important point of connection with his childhood and writing. Macondo.Live approaches that relationship through the real town, its residents and its cultural memory.
Literature and lived experience
One Hundred Years of Solitude connects an imagined community with questions of memory, history, family and power. Reading it alongside Aracataca creates room for both the literary world and the independent life of the town.
A centenary, a continuing conversation
Gabo 2027 offers cultural hosts an opportunity to build their own programs around film, art and conversation. Macondo.Live contributes a connection with Aracataca and the work developed around it.
