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

  A forked structure of the Nile River is printed on the carpet that covers the floor. From there, golden stakes emerge with images engraved on them. A curtain separates and produces an interior space. On the walls, paintings in irregular formats and cement objects with embedded glass eyes alternate. Finally, after passing through an ogival-shaped portal, we find a video made with artificial intelligence in which black people speculate about the origin of the universe and their own future. All in different textures of blue: dense and ethereal, material and virtual, ancestral and future ..read more

The question made a lot of sense, but it immediately upset me because I found it insulting. I told her bluntly: if there’s nothing to read in your University, perhaps that University should be left empty. But I felt bad, I know that the blow was unfair, I know that she left with a ta ..read more

Em uma mesa ao lado, em escala um pouco maior, há também a miniatura de um vagão que dá suporte a uma tela, na qual imagens sobre o mesmo tema são projetadas.
