Pienso en cómo fortalecer el poder narrativo de los movimientos sociales en América Latina. Conexión para un “nosotros más grande”. Imaginación radical para ilustrar el mundo que queremos ver. Esperanza activa para seguir caminando en tiempos oscuros.

La flor y la náusea - Carlos Drummond de Andrade (extracto)
¡Una flor ha nacido en la calle!
(…)
Su color no se percibe.
Sus pétalos no se abren.
Su nombre no está en los libros.
(…)
Es fea. Pero es una flor. Ha roto el asfalto, el tedio, la náusea y el odio.
¡Una flor ha nacido en la calle!

“The expectation that change will be swift and the failure to perceive it when it’s not impacts politics for the worse. A common source of uninformed despair is when a too-brief effort doesn’t bring a desired result—one round of campaigning, one protest.”

A traveler arrives in a village facing hunger and scarcity. She places a pot of water and stones on the fire, declaring she’ll make soup. Intrigued, villagers gather. As she praises the soup, they add what they can: a carrot, lentils, salt. Together, they create a meal that nourishes and unites them
