The podcast premiere will take place during a special joint event celebrating art, memory, and the future of Venezuela.
“Voyage to the Present” is designed as a space to travel through ideas, memories, and proposals that illuminate Venezuela’s path toward reconstruction—all examined from the perspective of the present moment.
