What is it about?

This text is an artistic political friction and therefore its intention is to be a manifesto. It follows Donna Haraway’s thought in its character of situated experience and knowledge, the narrative voice is of the singular creatures that question the interactions with the earth as soil and the plants, as well as the hybrids and the grafts in their contradictions and liminal character in the history of agricul- tural technology and of the domestication of the earth/soil.

Why is it important?

We had so much faith in technology and progress, it was thought that tech- nology would make us free and would be the answer to the challenges that modernity was building in the cities. Modern science and technology were the horizon of expectation for us, the creatures of the ‘underdeveloped’ countries. But what is there after progress?

Perspectives

This is a hybrid essay where artistic research and epistemological construction are combined. A reflection on language and the native communities of Mexico.
