Hello good afternoon
I am a potter many years ago
what do I spend ceramic the first time
I gave children ceramic classes was the
cultural center of monte vera una un
village that is 15 kilometers north
from the city of santa fe
most of my students were children of
medieros ie the workers
contracted rural areas that are finally
those who work the land
later I had my charge many years and the
child classroom of the ceramic workshop
craft of the guard and in both
opportunities
I was deeply moved to see the
Innate skill of those dark brown hands
to make pottery
ceramics is an art that accompany us
men almost from the moment in
where we learned to handle fire
he makes a special clay with mud
clay that is modeled with a lot
ease and then they cook high
temperatures are a few hours and it
turns into another material that is the
ceramic that already lasts is resistant sri
gila one afternoon I was teaching in the
Workshop guard and an approaching
teacher and had come forward if any of
his students could attend my workshop
thing that coincidentally many of them already
they had done of their own volition
we started talking about the students
especially some of them were
terrible and surprisingly she tells me
these blacks are not worth it
teach them because they do not learn anything anyway
I was amazed and above his
shoulder
I saw the blacks doing wonderful and
creative productions like those
you are going to start to see the screen
from there began a great
restlessness and many questions
that being black who we are blacks of
where the blacks come of course
appeared countless answers the
blacks are going to do most of the
inhabitants of the most humble neighborhoods
of our territory
the blacks are lazy do not like
work are dirty are thieves and not
have none of the virtues that
our society where I was started
ask my students about their
family stories about their origins
in the neighborhood and I discovered that the great
most of these guys came from what
that when I was a girl they were called
islanders or the inhabitants of the
innumerable acronyms that emerge from the
rivers and streams throughout our region
grandparents hunters of otters
capybara many fishermen who
they tried to continue with their way of life
but this acronym
from 1,970 thousand thousand 980 up
then they were fiscal lands starting
of that period
they began to have owner then the
conditions will be increasingly
unfavorable
these families came to the
banks approached the coast so as
his children were bricklayers were cartoneros
that is to say that they came to the city to
look for the waste that after
processed or thinking about it well these
boys were the descendants of the
remnants of the latest cultures
originating from our territory
fluvial nomadic families that inhabited
this territory for thousands of years
descendant all of the linguistic root
guaycurú great canoeists who lived
crossing the margins of the rivers
smith talks about them and smith he is a
German chronicler who came the first
boat that soared the parana river first
Spanish bank is not true and in the
he described amazed by the
extraordinary skill they had for
cross all the rivers of our
territory and also for its strong
physical context
precisely because of the large amount of
foods that they had for the
generous in our region all the
america was inhabited by
developed cultures that lived
perfectly
adapted to the territory where they were
seated
but the European conquest came with its
particular thirst for dominion and greed and
began a violent transformation of
the whole continent where immediately
the whites began to feel
superiors and Argentina does not escape
this project
Argentina was thought by leaders
liberal community that thought about it
white and European
began a systematic plan of
annihilation of native peoples
fundamentally to plunder them from the most
precious of your goods
the pachamama the earth that until the
moment he had never been able to think
with an owner because it was sacred was
all and it was not going to be easy
then they will be organized exposes as the
badly called conquest of the desert nor a
only square meter of that desert
was inhabited was not inhabited by
some original people
little by little I was looking in texts and
I found that this is a story
recurrent throughout the Americas
the reds in teeth of the towns
originating live in the margins of the
cities and make up what we know
like the poor man then it is not
a wish they want
and unless I look for it and not because
they do not mind learning as the
teacher
many of my students
especially the guard did not know the
day of his birthday because nobody knows
He partied there was no cake had
velvets nadia pelotero less still
gift toys but what if they
they had an abundance
it was the wonderful clay soil in
the bottom of their houses and the courtyards
number of guys many brothers
many cousins many neighbors all with
hands or clay ideas playing and
laughing making those fantastic ones
characters that they liked so much for
play and that the other guys from others
places were bought and also for
play a destination that of course is not
searched
once in the supermarket I was standing
in the queue waiting to pay the
career started talking about a robbery
the lady who was in front of me
vociferously angry at these blacks of
shit you have to kill them all
weighs on them a collective imaginary
relentless
you have to take away their land if you
reveals we send them the expired exercise
they approach the edges of cities
to live on the rubbish
then they are dirty they are ugly they are lazy
that yes they were the meat of cannon of all
the war battles of the continent and
it was called cannon fodder because they give the
first I was in the first row and
the first ones that received the enemies
[Music]
all the wars of independence the
conflicts within nations
even the so-called paraguay war
counted among its ranks with amount of
descendants of blacks and peoples
originating
first by conviction because
they thought that revolutions were going to
return their rights and then they went for
the good or the bad
because if he did not show up they were
declared defectors and they were sorry
death
And so we come to this 21st century with this
so complex social problem without
solve
killing them all serves us because
five centuries ago that is done and
nothing was ever resolved
we live in a structured society
before a caste system almost gift
people better where there are some that deserve and
others do not
there are not the same opportunities for
everyone equally
then this is an unjust society and
injustice generates violence every time
that I was in contact with these guys
I always marvel at the ability that
they have to be happy with very little but
little by little I have seen them grow
I have seen how the
life is taking away the joy
system
it notes its shortcomings and they themselves
they enter a materialistic vortex in
where sometimes they even get to linkin
just to have what we do with everything
this and well I think the secret
It’s always looking for the good and I think
also what better if between all
we look for the good and I think the good
is justice and then I think that
better if we all seek justice
we must be aware of this
situation you have to understand that with
justice we can build a society
better not charity because charity
voluntary is arbitrary they have to be
actions organized from the state
to guarantee access to well-being
and culture for all alike
native peoples fought and fight
to preserve a pastoral way of life
a simple country way of life
where from a little piece of land
there are animals that are sown all that is
can process the food for a
solidary and extended family united
but that battle they lost because what
that they never had
is a role that will guarantee you the
domain of the lands that inhabited
they were there forever
today many young ecologists
of the world
they tell us that this is the best way to
life and the one that would protect our environment
environment would conserve the resources of the
Earth
then in the end the blacks of shit
they were right and if you listen to us and
silos we understood maybe it would be better
plus
