When talking to Bernardo Gutiérrez, you feel that things are moving and that actually anything solid tends to disappear into thin air, and possibly becomes more liquid.

In any case, Bernardo speaks, passionately, of deep yearnings. He is an inventor: an inventor of words, ideas, stories, who knows that the only hope for Latin American politics is to re-invent its narrative.

Below, the full interview:

 

Politics Recovered is a series of interviews to 11 leading members of the Network of Political Innovation in Latin America. Taking advantage of the fact that they were meeting in Buenos Aires, Agustín Frizzera asked them what their vision of the new ways of doing politics is, and how do they approach the building of citizens’ rights and the inclusive use of technology.
