Magical Realism Manifesto

The Magical Realism Manifesto articulates a literary and artistic movement that blends the fantastical with the everyday, presenting extraordinary elements as a natural part of reality. It challenges traditional distinctions between the real and the imaginary, emphasizing that magical aspects are woven seamlessly into ordinary life to reveal deeper truths about culture, identity, and experience. Rooted in Latin American literature, the manifesto advocates for narratives that acknowledge the coexistence of the extraordinary within the mundane, enriching understanding of human experience without dismissing or over-explaining the magical as merely metaphor or fantasy.
