What does language have to do with the crisis of forced disappearances? How do our words both name and perpetuate the status quo of violence and impunity in Mexico? Can language help us reshaping reality? With these questions in mind, we are creating a campaign with the team behind The Inventory (Dir. Ilana Coleman). Would you be interested in being part of or imagining something together? We want to hear from you! Write to us!

With the film Fruits of Labor (Dir. Emily Cohen Ibañez) we wanted to turn on the projectors and the conversations in farmworking communities and on the immigrant route. So we designed the Mobile Dreams Tour. The campaign included concerts, outdoor screenings, workshops, gatherings and talks that reached +30 shelters, universities and rural communities in Chiapas, Mexico City, Jalisco, Baja California and Michoacán.

This was a series of workshops across 3 communities in Hermosillo (North Mexico) about cinema and social change, in which the participants imagined the cinemas they desired. We also improvised with the tools at hand, like cell phones, to share their our own stories in micro documentaries. We wrapped up by organizing a community screening to experience the importance and power of seeing ourselves reflected on the screen.

This campaign was designed to demand justice for Moisés Sánchez, a Mexican journalist who was kidnapped and murdered in 2015. Inspired by the phrases and aesthetics of the artisanal newspapers that Moisés did, the campaign included a series of fanzines, posters and murals to invade both the cyberspace and the public space with the journalist's story.

Series of interdisciplinary meetings in which artists shared different forms, creative processes and possibilities they propose through their artistic practices, born in the midst of and in the face of the Mexican context, marked by violence and disappearances. Family members, activists, filmmakers (Paz Encina and Everardo González), performing artists (Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol, Fuentes Rojas, Teatro Ojo) and public space interventionists (Fuentes Rojas) participated.
