ABSTRACT
I interviewed Fernando in a small conference room at the hotel where we stayed as part of the 10th edition of the International Festival of Performing Arts of Bahia (FIAC Bahia) in Brazil, on October 2017. Both of us had been invited by Rita Aquino (also interviewed in this book alongside FIAC curator Felipe Assis) to participate in the Seminar on Curatorship and Mediation in Performing Arts, an educational component to the festival. Fernando had traveled from his home base in Cochabamba, Bolivia to speak about the art center he had founded there, el mARTadero. The interview took place in Spanish.
