This volume is a collaborative event: artists Beatriz Gonz lez, Mateo L pez, Bernardo Ortiz, Gabriel Sierra and Jos Antonio Su rez Londo o worked closely with Hans Ulrich Obrist on the naming, design and rendering of this journey into a book. The 17 interviews published here invite the reader to join Obrist's ongoing conversation about Colombia. Interviewees include lvaro Barrios, Mar a Fernanda Cardoso, Antonio Caro, Danilo Due as, Beatriz Gonz lez, Mateo L pez, Mar a Ang lica Medina, Jorge Orlando Melo, Antanas Mockus, Oscar Mu oz, Bernardo Ortiz, Luis Ospina, Mar a Isabel Rueda, Gabriel Sierra, Doris Salcedo, Jos Antonio Su rez Londo o and Juan Gabriel V squez.
