8 QUESTIONS (BARCELONA 2020)
Taking advantage of the global lockdown, I did a serie with Uruguayans (90 in total) living in different parts of the world.
The serie consisted of 8 questions, the same for every interviewer:
How long have you been living outside Uruguay / What did you do in Uruguay and what do you do now?.
What does it mean to you to leave Uruguay and take some distance from "El paisito"?.
What aspects of being Uruguayan do you keep because you think they’re good and worth having in your day-to-day life, and which aspects of being Uruguayan have you buried because you’re not into them at all or they embarrass you?.
What do you appreciate about Uruguay when you’re living abroad?.
Have you ever run into a tourist or a foreigner living in Uruguay and thought: “What the hell are you doing here?”.
What was it like for you to go back to Uruguay for the first time after living abroad for a good while — that unique, one-of-a-kind experience?
What did you feel, how did you experience it, what surprised you?.
In the song Los Olímpicos by Jaime Roos, there’s a part that says, “Extraña la gente nuestra que te habla sin despreciar.” What do you think went through Jaime Roos’ mind, or what situation do you think he lived through, to write that?.
What do you think about the fact that Uruguay has “Nostalgia Night”? Are you nostalgic?.
