Remembering and Traveling, "Garzón Vive" with students of the Universidad del Rosario about the life of Jaime Garzón in reality and fiction, 12.10.2022

Students of the Universidad del Rosario, together with our cooperation partner Carolina Galindo, developed a travel of dialogue through Bogotá. This focused on the life of journalist, politician, activist and comedian Jaime Garzón, who was assassinated by paramilitaries on Aug. 13, 1999. His life was portrayed in 2018 in the telenovela Garzón Vive of the Colombian television channel RCN. During the travel of dialogue, we visited places that were important both in real life and in the partially fictionalized portrayal of Jaime Garzón in the telenovela. The theme was the sometimes fine lines between reality and fiction and the effects on viewers who did not experience that moment of history themselves. The students found the concept of “travels of dialogue” as a transfer measure inspiring. Therefore, we are happy that we as the GUMELAB team were allowed to be part of the activity.
