This work takes as its starting point the anarchist universe of The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin to construct a fictional society through a speculative exercise. It is presented in video format, accompanied by a text conceived as a fictional manifesto, where the artist’s own writing is interwoven with quotes from key historical manifestos such as the New Latin American Cinema Manifesto, the Situationist, the Posthumanist, the Zapatista, among others.

Unlike the dystopia created by Jorge Eduardo Eielson in Primera muerte de María, which reimagines a stripped-down and hostile Lima, this piece seeks to generate alternative possibilities for social and political organization.

More than a science fiction exercise, the work positions itself as an art of possibility—exploring non-hegemonic futures through the reconfiguration of historical discourses. In this sense, the piece engages with political and artistic practices that challenge structures of power and propose scenarios where utopia is not an unreachable ideal, but rather a strategy of resistance and transformation.
