Communicating the difference: a radio project carried out in Mexico by people with experiences of psychiatric internment. Interview with Sara Makowski

Abstract

A radio in the garden of a college. A place where people with different biographical paths meet to live a communication experience. A polyphony of voices that creates bonds, generates dialogues, breaks stereotypes and produces social inclusion. Sara Makowski, a Sociologist and Doctor in Anthropology, coordinates the multimedia project Radio Abierta, in the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana de México, which is carried out by people who had experienced mental suffering. In this interview, made during her visit to the Universidad Católica del Uruguay, Makowski shared the learnings, scope and challenges of "communicating the difference".
