    Failed State

    How does Venezuela, a country with such riches, end up in ruin? What does it feel like to watch it decay from the inside? Failed State, a fictional narrative journal, aims to answer these questions and more from the point of view of an artist in denial. In this story, Venezuela’s crisis is observed from the personal perspective news-media always lacks. It also hopes to show the ways in which people’s skills, as underappreciated as they may be, have tremendous value.
