Jorge Pedro Uribe Llamas

Jorge Pedro Uribe Llamas (Mexico City, 1980) is a writer and communicator. He has collaborated with several national and foreign media, usually spreading the cultural richness of his city and the country. In 2014 he received a Silver Pochteca award from the Mexico City Ministry of Tourism for his work as a chronicler and in 2019 he was shortlisted for the One World Media Awards. He is the author of the books Amor por la Ciudad de México (Paralelo 21, 2015), Novísima grandeza mexicana (Paralelo 21, 2017) and México monumental (Índice Editores, 2019), among others. He is an associate member of the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana and a full member of the Colegio de Cronistas de la Ciudad de México (Medalla al Mérito en Artes 2019 en Patrimonio Cultural by the Congress of Mexico City). Between 2016 and 2019 he was in charge of the urban chronicle podcast “Cuidad de México”, available on Spotify.

“Cambio de Tiempo” is the name of a song by Astrud that I recommend listening to. Under this title I have gathered six urban chronicles -more inclined to literature than journalism- related to Mexico City and its quality of palimpsest: the anniversary of the city, the infraordinary from my window, the nomenclature and commercial vocation of some streets, a forgotten legend, the social pulse of the covid-19 pandemic in 2021, and the earthquake of 2017. Almost all set in the Historic Center, which is where I live, and written between 2014 and the current year. Some of these fragments are part of my next book.

“Cambio de Tiempo” es el nombre de una canción de Astrud que recomiendo escuchar. Bajo este título he reunido seis crónicas urbanas –más tendientes a la literatura que al periodismo– relacionadas con la Ciudad de México y su cualidad de palimpsesto: el aniversario de la ciudad, lo infraordinario desde mi ventana, la nomenclatura y vocación comercial de algunas calles, una leyenda olvidada, el pulso social de la pandemia de covid-19 en 2021, y el terremoto de 2017. Casi todo situado en el Centro Histórico, que es donde vivo, y escrito entre 2014 y el año en curso. Algunos de estos fragmentos forman parte de mi próximo libro.
