“We neither forgive or forget”

As you may (or not) know, Mexico is one of the many Latin American countries with the worst cases of femicides, gender violence, rapes, and sexual harassment. For many years we’ve been shouting out in the streets, we’ve blocked the city with our manifestation and even stopped for a whole day and show how would be a day without us. 

But that seems not enough for our government

Our government doesn’t hear us, our government doesn’t care about us. We still walk with fear in an empty street (even if it’s noon), we still have nightmares with the struggle of couldn’t make it one day: survive. We don’t live in Mexico, we survive.

“Nobody ask what my rapist was wearing”

In Mexico, 11 women are murdered everyday and nobody does anything in the name of justice

What’s happening with our mexican feminists in the last few days?

Our event takes place in Mexico City, September 02: Relatives of missing people ‘took’  a room in one of the most important buildings when it comes to human rights: the CNDH (National Commission for Human Rights). Marcela Alemán, whose daughter was raped 3 years ago, explain that this organization (and the Justice System of San Luis Potosí, Mexico) haven’t do anything for them; despite having enough evidence to catch the rapists:

“I’m fucking tired, they revictimize me, humiliate me […] I can’t take it anymore, my soul hurts”

September, 04: In a pacific way, women from “Ni Una Menos México” have taken the entirely building, so the authorities can solve the demands from this and many families who are in the same position. They had a talk with the president of the CNDH, and some mothers decided to go, but our feminists remains in the building asking and fighting for every women in Mexico that have suffered.

“Justice”

Our feminists have found a lot of food inside, food that people who works there doesn’t need, so they’re gonna donate them for those in need. They have painted and destroy everything as an act of resistance and rebellion. We’re not looking for money, nobody here belongs to the government: We just want justice for those who are not with us anymore, we want to feel safe in the country that has denied us protection.

“Girls must not be raped”

“CNDH USELESS, How many more?”

Many of you may think that “this is not the way to get attention”, but in Mexico, were nobody listens to you just because you’re a woman, you have to find ways to be noticed. We don’t respect a country who doesn’t respect us, we don’t care for silly paintings, we care for our women today and always.

We, the feminists, have this song that says “We are bad, we can be worst” and we proudly sing it while we look for justice, for peace, for a better place for everyone.

Identidad

Más que una máscara, la identidad es una manera de expresarse. No es algo definido que no cambia y que con su apego nos causa dolor. Es algo que nos permite cambiar y ser libres, algo que cada vez se expresa de manera diferente, pues cada vez aprende cosas diferentes.

Por aspirar a algo más grande solía rechazar mi identidad, solía rechazarme como individuo. Me negaba como gota por ser parte del mar. Pero lo cierto es que también soy una gota.

Tras mucho tiempo de tener la idea de que la identidad era algo "malo", por fin reconocí que tengo que aceptar mi identidad, así como dejar de juzgar la identidad de los demás. Es gracias a ella que todos, cada uno como individuo, podemos experimentar el mundo y expresar nuestro peculiar sentir y pensar.

Además, si estamos divididos es por algo. Sin duda seguimos estando conectados, pero si estamos divididos es para que experimentemos la individualidad, para que aprendamos a conectar como individuos, aceptándonos como una parte del todo, aunque tomando en cuenta que, poco a poco, seremos más todo que parte.

Creceremos, nos expandiremos, podremos conectar de tal manera con todo, que eventualmente seremos todo. Este será un largo camino, y para poderlo recorrer tendremos que ser disciplinados con el desarrollo de nuestras virtudes, pues las virtudes son las que permiten la unión.

No es correcto negar nuestra identidad, no debemos rechazarla, pero tampoco debemos permitir que se estanque. Si aspiramos a algo más grande, cada día debemos actuar con mayor virtud. Debemos expresarnos siguiendo las enseñanzas del amor, y si no sabemos cuáles son estas, no debemos reprocharnos por ello, es parte del camino el haber olvidado, pero sin duda las recordaremos, las aprenderemos una vez más. Aunque nos equivoquemos, quienes genuinamente queremos crecer lograremos desarrollar nuestras virtudes y podremos crecer.

Because I imagined myself stronger. Because I was making an incorrect mathematical calculation about love: I thought that, in adding up everything I understood, I loved. I didn’t know that, adding up everything you don’t understand is the way to truly love. Because I, just from having felt affection, thought that loving is easy. It’s because I didn’t want solemn love, not understanding that solemnity ritualizes incomprehension and transforms it into an offering. And also because I always try to handle things my way, it’s because I still don’t know how to give in. It’s because deep down I want to love the thing I would love—and not what is. It’s because I’m still not myself, and so the punishment is loving a world that’s not itself. 

—Clarice Lispector, Forgiving God

Desde que te conocí supe lo peligrosa que serías y decidí correr el riesgo.

Sigo atrapada después de meses. No consigo soltarte.

Los ojos de mi alma ya no ven los atardeceres de la misma forma y todo me recuerda a ti.

Cambio constante

Ser, insignificante y grandioso a la vez.

Las promesas de lo seguro son mera utopía. Las construcciones con las que nos educamos nos hacen sentir de alguna manera todopoderosos, pero resulta que si todo se modifica, tampoco nosotros somos estáticos.

“Por favor nunca cambies”… ¿no es un poco exigente? ¿no es un tanto imposible? Cuántas veces nos forzamos a no cambiar, porque cuando nos damos cuenta de que lo hacemos, nuestro mundo seguro y tangible flaquea. Desconocemos infinito, en cada idea abstracta, hay incalculables posibilidades. Una sonrisa me cambia, el curso del río que fluye me cambia, un descubrimiento me cambia, el fuego de una emoción irrefrenable me cambia, una palabra me cambia, el viento que corre con locura me cambia, una mirada me cambia, sentir mi cuerpo descansando en la tierra me cambia. Soy lo que sé hasta ahora, y también lo que no sé, el conocimiento mismo está dispuesto a plena modificación, por eso prefiero vagar por el mundo, con la conciencia de la transitoriedad de mi vida, con la apertura suficiente, con la pasión que me conduce a amar y a descubrir, mientras dure.

“Un Yo Inflado Es Siempre Egocéntrico Y Sólo Tiene Conciencia De Su Propio Presente. Es Incapaz De

“Un yo inflado es siempre egocéntrico y sólo tiene conciencia de su propio presente. Es incapaz de aprender del pasado; incapaz de comprender lo que ocurre en el presente, e incapaz de extraer conclusiones acertadas para el futuro. Está hipnotizado por sí mismo y por tal causa no admite interlocutores ni se puede razonar con él.⠀ Por tal motivo, está sujeto a catástrofes que le destrozarán en caso necesario.⠀ Paradójicamente, la inflación (del yo) es una pérdida de conciencia por el consciente."⠀ ⠀ "An inflated self is always egocentric and only aware of its own present. He is unable to learn from the past; unable to understand what is happening in the present, and unable to draw accurate conclusions for the future. He is hypnotized by himself and for this reason he does not admit interlocutors and cannot be reasoned with.⠀ For this reason, it is subject to catastrophes that will destroy it if necessary.⠀ Paradoxically, inflation (of the self) is a loss of consciousness by the conscious."⠀ ⠀ Carl Gustav Jung⠀ Psicología y alquimia / Psychology and alchemy⠀ & Samuel Eller @samuel.eller (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #analogcollage #analogcollagecommune #collageart #collage_art #collageartist #collageartwork #collagework #collagecollectiveco #c_expo #collagemaker #contemporarycollage #collage_guild #collagetash #collagelife #collagecollective #photocollage #handcut #handcutcollage #cutandpaste #handmadecollage #papercut #gluepaperscissors #collageonpaper #retrocollage #collages #collage_expo #jesuislesurrealisme #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #samueleller https://www.instagram.com/p/CTiWPTEoiQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr
