In 1965, a group of poets, architects, and artists traveled from Tierra del Fuego to Bolivia to create a poetic dwelling of unknown territories in South America. Their journey, called travesa de Amereida, resulted in the creation of the poem Amereida, a founding epic of the continent and a programmatic manifesto of the group. Although they did not reach their goal, their expedition proved to be a success, leading to the founding of the Open City in Chile and the creation of the Architectural School of Valparaiso.

In her book, Magdalena Barbaruk analyzes interviews and private correspondence of the creators of Amereida, recalls recently revealed photographs from the expedition, and describes the significance of Chile's political awakening in 2019 for the movement.
