chromosomes that dictate who I am and from
where do I come from the color of my eyes
until the thickness of my hair everything is
contained in these 23 chromosomes
as you know the DNA does not come
only from your parents but it’s from
all your ancestors
for me it was a great discovery
understand more about my genes and where
discover the great passion that I have for
Latin America is contained in all
the yellow markers
these markers represent all of these
countries that are contained within
my genes this genetics has generated me
a great love for latin america and
Through the years
This love has led me to know the
latin america when you know it is
know your people your passion your
intelligence its landscapes its skies
blue but above all those sunsets
that leave you breathless knowing
latin america is to live its culture
Live your folklore with the five senses
experience everything that this entails
I have worked through time
for the cultural heritage of america
latina and part of the big questions
that are born when we talk about heritage
cultural begin when they ask me
constantly making a Bolivian
working in Mexico and maybe if
we exploit a little the question what or
why would you regal
import Chiapas textiles part
of what we understand by heritage
cultural
according to many people
and according to bull is spaces and monuments
places things when I have learned that
the most valuable cultural heritage
is all intangible and the first
lesson he learned with textiles
this textile
when you see it they mean ways
combinations but in reality this
textile and these icons are simply
spaces where stories are told
this is the futur that for the community
maya is the representation of the mother
sacred the fertility symbol of
family and through drawing them
teach their children about their beliefs
and its values
the second story to tell you
because the intangible heritage
cultural is so valuable is told in a
community also in the highs of
chiapas east that is called zinacantán a
Chinese enchanted is one is a population
where the vast majority of its inhabitants
produce flowers and therefore many of their
altars many of their spaces are
covered in flowers every time he visited
these communities particularly this
community I love going to visit the
temple because the altar is full of
flowers
the smells of the flowers feel
cool and somehow make me
relive a little bit of what happens in that
culture does on my last trip I
I took my sister and a friend to
know exactly this temple stem
we were stuck to a to a wall
observing the majesty of this
space me telling you how little
I know of the place and suddenly they start
get what are called stewards a
butler in an indigenous community
he is a citizen to whom the community
has granted the pleasure of serving the
town every butler serves is still a
a saint prays him what cares you saw him
for a period of time once a
week
the mayordomos come together in the church and
on the whole
remain for the community all their
saints what I’m going to show you right now
is a piece of that moment in which the
space ceases to be space because the
culture and the magic of the intangible is
it creates so short but so precise a prayer
a space and it’s the people that make
those spaces are revived that’s why the
word folklore has the two parts
people and knowledge because we require
of us from the village to make the
culture viva mexico is a country
extremely multicultural and although
we constantly believe that culture
are only indigenous groups or
the Huichols the Regios are also
a culture those of the df are also a
culture and the first step towards prost
prosper as a society is in
truly recognize us as a
cultural group and recognize all the
groups with whom we interact with
that we can be in contact because
many Mexicans have not traveled or
even to the south of your country but good
is an important part of this
recognition is in the capacity of
understand and value the beliefs of
the rest
cultures one of the first bridges that
help in this recognition process
is the language when a Huichol learns
to speak Spanish can be expressed
better than you can count on what you believe in
what he dreams and the same thing backwards if
some of us learn to speak
Quechua
we could probably understand the
Inca culture in a completely
different
my theory is that we are about to
start a second where you’re going to
have an even more important bridge the
language technology
technology will give us the ability
to connect even more to recognize
all the other groups that are there
outside through virtual reality
through truly getting into
the experiences of other people
in the spaces
imagine this prayer that I have just
give virtual reality but we do not
we go so far to what we
we take the internet for granted
internet in the world currently
only 3.5 billion people of
the seven of us that we have access to
internet starting as in 2020 plus or
less about five or six million
people of the world will enter
Internet
imagine what all that amount of
people are going to bring to the internet
the amount of knowledge of cultures
new values of beliefs
now if there is a dangerous point
generally when we talk about
globalization
we tend to believe that it is a time for
unify and that’s why the important thing of
recognize the other magnet and no more
good to deny them
because if not in that moment in which
let’s start denying other cultures
or not recognize them
let’s start to unify and
eventually we will all end
having the same beliefs and
same values
I do not think we want to be a humanity
of robots
I firmly believe in the wealth that there is in
our cultural diversity and considered
that to truly thrive as
society we should start to recognize a
from my great nightmares get up a
day and having to take my children to a
museum to know a culture because
is no longer in the world
I dream and work for that culture
be something alive to what is in the
streets to which we are constantly
living interacting the reality of
the culture is that we constantly believe
which is a matter of preservation
when in reality
culture is a dynamic being is a being
I live that we make decisions
daily that they change or modify the
culture with which we live
the problem is that the culture took a
little in changing then we have to believe
which is something static
these three stories that I’m going to
tell next are from people
who take the decision to transform the
culture in something alive present and model
the first story happens in my country
these are cholitas paseñas is the suit
with which they dress is a
tranque have seen since childhood
and this woman who is also paseña
she is also a proud carrier of
skirt that transforms their culture to
get to catwalks as the child failed
wake with a proposal that transforms
culture in a new vision of what
wants it to lie in the future or is it
Oaxacan woman
Zapotec cook that through the
kitchen has transformed what we
We believe or think of Mexican food
their restaurants have been recognized
all over the world
transformation live culture or this
person that is probably a
story a little foreign but I like it
Talk about this person is alexander
hamilton
this if they have not yet fixed
come the $ 10 bills that
right now it ‘s a bit difficult
get them but it ‘s on the ticket
10 dollars is he was one of the
the first treasure secretary of the
America probably never
we would have heard about this
person if it’s not for the son of
Puerto Rican immigrants lin manuel
Miranda decides to transform history
of hamilton in a work of art in
broadway
this work of art has not only won
prizes of all that can be
imagine but has also put a
new cúa status in what it means
Broadway your cast is extremely
diverse east washington
in the cast I think it’s this Asian
and his representation has shown that
culture can be present and can
be alive in what today represents something
for us all the songs that
they sing are in rap this advised them
much to follow the step of this work
then all my work and in what
I think it has led me to think that
culture is what we all live
days that Mexico and the changes that
we want to see where Latin America and
the changes that we want to see in the
region are met and all are changed
the days with the actions that each
of us we take every day
recognize and transform our culture
it depends on us and maybe my call
today
is the one that truly explorer
what are the cultures the beliefs
the experiences that are controlling them
you today because the reality of the
things is that the only way in which
let’s change the world is
truly knowing those who
they are in front of us and knowing
I mean not only intellectually
but truly appreciating what
other people appreciate it because it is
the only way we’re going to
recognize that we live in a world
rural pluripolar and that is the only
way in which we are going to be able to take what
best of him
thank you very much
[Applause]
