El viejo de la danza

MAYRA ACOSTA RAMÍREZ

“That is why dance has represented a problem for colonization, as it is a mode of
political resistance or rebellion. The dancers turn the stage into resistance to
domination and a way of combating the absence of original cultures in history.”

of the project was to capture different natural places in Mexico in photographs
that would dictate a path of colors and textures represented with embroidery.

Cenzontle

SEBASTIÁN MONTES DE OCA H.

Cenzontle was reborn to sing and live in freedom.
Like Cenzontle, women have been reborn and in the process have found their voice,
a voice that echoes in the ears of those who seek to silence them.
Fly and sing out loud!

These pieces are part of a series that,
from the aesthetics of abstraction,
invite us to become absorbed in the sensitive dimension of the territory.

MAYRA ACOSTA RAMÍREZ

The dances turn the intangible community into a

reality; A sense of community is created through

several generations of dancers who come

together to learn and continue their traditional

practices. Ties like dance and music are a way

of teaching new generations about their past and

culture. Learning the dances is a key point for

the preservation of identity; the dancers become

the masters of the next generation creating a

link between the past and the present. Dance can

serve as an entertainment resource and also for

the preservation of culture through the dancers

and the audience. In anthropology, aesthetic-social

manifestations such as music,songs or clothing

designs, and in this case dance, are characterized

as the creative use of he body within a culturally

specific system.

“That is why dance has represented a problem for

colonization, as it is a mode of political

resistance or rebellion. The dancers turn the

stage into resistance to domination and a way of

combating the absence of original cultures

in history.”
