This is my dream. I sing for my brother-self
A song for an island on fire
A song for tending to the seeds of hope.
/
Este es mi sueño. Yo canto para mi hermano-yo misma
Una canción para una isla en llamas
Una canción para cuidar las semillas de la esperanza.
Tessa Mars, 2024

For Tessa Mars (Port-au-Prince, 1985), this space allows us to recognize longing, the desire to return and take root again in homes tha ..read more

The premise of the short film presents a not-too-distant futuristic scenario in which humanity has managed to reach Mars, settle there, survive, and even build a civilization. However, there remains a crucial dependency on Earth’s resources: food and technology that arrive on the red planet every two years. This lack of independence from our home planet is evidenced by the distance from the fertility of our Martian soil and the scarcity of food outside the agricultural domes. In this context, the inevitable question arises: What would happen if the flow of resources from Earth sudde ..read more

The right wing in Latin America has been organizing power through the financialization of life and concentrated capital; today it governs through democracy. As is happening in our country, the idea of terrorism has been reintroduced to create various renewed profiles of internal enemies. This time, the internal enemies are all those who disrupt the flow of the free market. Let us not forget that the market is, among other things, cultural. The government is waging what they call a “cultural battle,” and some say these battles are distractions from what is really happening: the impoverishment o ..read more

Escribir es tomar una decisión.
Por lo tanto, estoy tomando la decisión de escribir en inglés ahora mismo. También tomé la decisión de no escribir en tailandés, mi lengua materna. Aunque el tailandés es mi lengua materna, no es mi primera lengua. El inglés fue mi primera lengua, no sólo porque nací en los Estados Unidos de Amérikkka, sino también porque mi papá sólo me hablaba en inglés cuando estábamos allá, un acto bien intencionado para prepararme y protegerme del absurdo de la jerarquía lingüística. Por otro lado, fue mi madre quien se resistió a la regla de utilizar sólo inglés y ..read more

Mona Island is located in the Mona Channel, the strait that separates Quisqueya/Dominican Republic from Borikén/Puerto Rico. The sighting of Mona from the air opened windows in my awareness of time, like a cavernous portal, and only then did I understan ..read more

Going through the history of a volcano to get here
By Paulina Ascencio Fuentes and Sandra Rozental.
In the archives of the Museum of the Institute of Geology of the UNAM, a very particular birth certificate is documented. By means of a bureaucratic registry as it corresponds to any member of the citizenry, and with the official seal of the Municipal Presidency of Parangaricutiro, Michoacán, the document reports the advent of a new being and recognizes it as part of the community. However, unlike humans, this being does not breathe air, but fire. It is a being that spat boiling lava, a dragon ..read more
