Ayer falleció Zygmunt Bauman, invitado de honor del Rototom Sunsplash 2012
In 2012 we were fortunate enough to receive a visit from Zygmunt Bauman, one of the last century’s great thinkers, when he participated in one of the debates at the Social Forum where we were able to talk with him together with the festival’s audience.
