A woman named Velia writes letters about returning to her homeland, Chocó – blurring the line between author and character. Vidal writes about the impact of community, the power of storytelling, and what it feels like to return home to a place that is both close and distant. In conversation with Fionn Petch, editor, she will discuss her autofictional text and her work for a literary festival in Chocó, a region of tropical forests in
northwestern Colombia.
