[Applause]

Thank you

whoever is good

good evening my name gonzalo towers

I had my first field please

I had my first girlfriend at 15

if by current standards it would be

really a slow or but I had

spent a summer the beaches of the south

in a friend’s house and interacting

with new new friends new people

meeting young girls guys to

talk more existential where all

important in eternal days bathing

dancing and there was a girl who had

pulled clock and good with it towards the

summer

we dance there for the please dance

we passed also interminable conversations

we laughed I made him laugh she

it made us laugh we looked at each other a lot and it happened

All summer

knowing this person to give me

account

at the end of the summer that had

in love with here and wing the girl told me

Yes and we spent a fair winter

but as it happens at 15 years of age

the hormones are boiling and what

new quickly becomes old

and the hormones that make you look towards

other side no and well she decided to look

to the other side and

and better with a broken heart

so but it’s not really the point

the point is that I had spent a whole

summer getting to know this person and

knowing her talking to her knowing

what are your interests that like her

it made me feel that the pertinent thing is

this and it is a phrase that can sound

it’s really a cliché phrase but as

all the cliché phrases that are said

both lose their sense sometimes but

why they become known because they have

a truth quite present and it is nobody

loves what he does not know

I do not believe in love at first sight

I do believe in the attraction at first

seen because love if the true

love

it’s really based on something much more

deep that the epidermis is enough to know

different things from the other person to

really love and that does not happen like that

Take a little time of knowledge

nobody loves what does not know that or we

You can touch different shapes to each one

and this is a phrase with which he wants

start with you to think about that we have

come a little to get ideas from this

from this ted

nobody loves what you do not know like you

you know I have a program called

just around the corner

for 13 years when I entered the program

I said or to the channel said I good to do

thirteen chapters

I am already 13 years old 13 years old

stories about the ibx I intend

actually do with this program that

calls around the corner is

tell stories that makes us

requiem our historical heritage

stories you have to see for

stories that have to do a bit with

this heritage so that we can

approaching this heritage is worth the

redundancy and because how will they expand it

seen also I do it in a pleasant way

to at least generate some interest

that allows us to want this heritage

because I am convinced that in a country

that has many differences and that

We are separated by bird

iceta reasons I think there’s nothing else

powerful and more integrative than

historical heritage so many other things

also like gastronomy for example

a theme that has united us in the last

20 15 years so natural theme

but I think the heritage keeps

something very special in your environment because

It makes clear who we are from

where we come from and in this one in this

circumstance of this heritage that

We see everything in all of Peru

heritage becomes and also as

he said it sometime

Luis Alberto Sanchez that redefined the

Peru as a teenage country and a

Teen

we are a nation really too

teenager as a teenager

We are still searching for this

identity and this one said to define us from

some way that you tell us

who we are and where we are going and that I

I think we can avoid it with

intact heritage with a heritage that

every time it’s going to wear ‘not every time

more remember what happened with machu

picchu with machu picchu in the year 2007

It was declared the natural wonder of

world for please

and remember how we joined the challenge is

get machu picchu to make it a

lamp natural wonders of the world

we are all united all on the internet

voting why because for us

Machu Picchu is a pride and represents

our past we feel

identified with machu picchu we are

part of that story

What if Machu Picchu was not

who would say near us in reality

they would have nothing to tell about

our existence as a country

that is one of the advantages that I

I find heritage the other advantage

found marriage in the

heritage and has to see marriage

we achieve it in another

at another time this one

the other advantage that the encounter and this

it’s a very simple thing is the economic

it is clear that tourism is a great generator

of foreign exchange tourism also takes us

to generate jobs and in the

case of lima that is what I most

interest

actually forces us to take care of this

heritage to give it value to generate

more places in which the tourist

may come to decentralize that chicken of

the golden eggs that is machu picchu and

have other mini hens of eggs

gold in other parts especially in Lima

if the tourist comes here and finds more

things put in value is a situation

win win for the whole world

everyone wins in that situation now what

nice it would be to have so many things but

as we know the heritage will go go

disappearing is every time

we need protection

that seems important to me the subject is

much more complex reality than what

I’m going to play today but I want to do

emphasis on a word

protection and the subject of protection

go through something very important

we see more and more that many cows per

above all but another type of heritage

is neglected not only by the

apathy of the authorities who are playing

ensure their care but also for the

ignorance and ignorance of

those who approach the patrimony see

examples of that and more and more each

there are more monuments that are

losing 2 and they want years

fire for example in plaza de mayo it

it was time and until now has not yet

been recovered

the problem is complex is true

numerous data some to have for

know where we are and these are data

more or less

more or less is updated but neither

is that he has changed a lot

are data for the year 2010 taken from the

Ministry of Culture 11 thousand 714

pre-Hispanic archaeological monuments

declared throughout Lima has

1874 that is the most amount of

Archaeological monuments throughout Peru

that is, the greatest number of monuments

archaeological is in the department of

Lima and only fourteen of those moments

are in operation has not changed

there will be two more to date

It has changed a lot

that is also declared there are many that

they are not declared that they are only

archaeological archaeological remains

prehispanic

we also have a heritage like

we are also here historical cultural and

iu has to do with the viceroyalty and with

the republic of that we started from

1935 and it began to regulate

protect the patrimony to 2010 4.776

declared historic buildings and the

greater number

again

Lima with a thousand 392 imagine if you do not know

imagine the amount of remains

archaeological and monumental heritage

viceregal and republican that the state

has to watch and protect is really

big not and when sometimes he does and tries

to intervene does it in a late manner or

wrong and he does it publicly he was going to

say imposing punishments as we can

see this this problem from the side

of the citizen

how can we be protagonists

of something that concerns us because the

heritage is ours is what our

ancestors have left us

you are making that house that

you built with so much happening to

your children but your children will sell it

and so that maybe one day pass

make the property of something or someone

healthy is not worth it be level of

heritage but that will not happen to be

used by that other person to move to

be part of the city and again

we go back to nobody loves what he does not know

What happens if we change suddenly

word love is too strong and what

we change for nobody wants what not

know and we change that word nobody

protect what I do not know we can have

also some synonyms about

protect nobody values anyone who lives

but it seems to me that nobody protects what

he does not know

is a solid phrase with which we can

be completely in agreement

nobody protects what he does not know

that’s important because I do

account also in my travels and

conversing with different people who

is concerned about the heritage

let’s say historians archaeologists

patrimonialists people linked to the

Lima’s story has made me realize that

there is a logical order that we have to

follow and that the state is not

attending and that we can do

is this order that comes first by

know

second for wanting and then protecting this

logical order that we will see in a

instant

this logical order can not be skipped

as I said

the state know and want and will protect and

not good I ate laguerre por comelón

this one to recognize wanting to protect the

state can not force you and that’s what

finally it is happening

the state can not force you to want

something can not force you to protect the

I think that is a misconception the

we are not falling you may want to

force can not be protected to the

that’s why this is important

first get to the first part of

this action

know and now let’s see how we can

a little involved in that but for

that I want to give you two examples

with whom I met on the road

this man is Alberto Vázquez is a

history professor of lurigancho him

teaches in an educational institution that

it’s called carrion alcides and he’s

an idea occurred to take care of a uap a

water that sap very close on the other margin

from the rímac river in the countryside and there are two remains

archaeological ones close to each other or is it not

mangomarca and the other is field and aesa

that fortress that street rest is called

the field strength

we all agree that maybe

the huacas are the examples of

archaeological heritage more threatened

of everything then it is vital to bring the

population to the water is and what is the

relevance of these

then he came up with an inti

raymi say does not allow remy from cv or not

during the prehispanic period the inti

raymi expanded everywhere is a

celebration this for the harvest and when

in about 1470 came túpac

yupanqui to lima this rest that still

will continue to be used that is of the

culture and should have been not

but maybe others should have been

used to make a celebration

a kind of inti raymi to celebrate

also the arrival of túpac yupanqui and

it occurred to him to do an inti rayni

there in a space threatened by

trash for people who arrive and take drugs

there for crime and so on

link the neighbors with the uap and that

he got his students to worry about

the protection of the uap could have done

something quietly simple is a

cleaning day was also worth it

something happened much beyond that and

say something that will generate that neighbors

come and see the importance because they go

the teachers go the relatives of the

students who interpret this inti raymi

and see what is the current importance of

the uap promoted the cultural tourism of

The area also has fallen down in certain areas of

our capital

divulged the history of our city

it generated pride for our past and that

it’s something important to generate pride

our past

so be the state in which you are

that gives us self-esteem as a nation

beyond the food of gastronomy

that can also give us self-esteem

our heritage generates self-esteem in

a in a citizenship that generally

is quite downcast with the theme of

self-esteem on the subject of for example

traffic policy the problems of the

city and so on

another example very close to seven blocks

from here is the square of the

fenced the square of the fence is a

unique space in Latin America is a

rhombus-shaped square of rhombus in which

it was not you can tell the whole story

why it’s there but it ‘s a lot

before the one of high neighborhoods

long before we see the highs it is

establish and existed the enclosed plazuela

that was the redoubt of the indigenous

first indigenous redoubt in Lima

village within another town and the

tracing the streets in this one in this

space

keeps exactly the same as

did the Jesuits early and

mid-16th century and ak know the

enclosed plazuela raise your hand

favor

some reality does not know the majority not

knows who they knew for example the

convent of good death maybe more or

less out there when it matters and as well as

like like this and other spaces

there are many others in Lima as soon as

important is the fact of knowing and

now let’s see how we can be

protagonists of that knowledge

there is a story about the square

of the fence

I had gone I have lived like several times

to the fence area the first time

I went, it gave me a tremendous pain because

there was the battered space full of

graffiti everywhere I had been

talked about four beautiful

marble back of which only

there were three cobblestones on the floor

they are all up and start

investigate and a neighbor who lives at

costado my son told me the story and

I just in case that statue of lack

I have it at my house

yes yes they wanted to steal a day that

It was about to fall and I took it out

because no one came to rescue her

Libyan part was given to the police and so on

nothing I took it with mass of this children

and I have my house

came the ministry hid in that era

of the National Institute of Culture el

Ministry of Culture of Wine and the Cap

and the wine and they have not wanted to give

because what I need is a

commitment that they will recover the

square

that happened, let’s say when they started

remodel the square and that they left

separate or I think the time of the

mayor until a recent

no administration had been ignored

to that place they came they paid attention to

that site remodeled the square and with

commitment in hand

Mrs. returned the statue

they recovered the rejuvenated they put him in

value again and there’s the statue

again a square recovered

time later the lady is in

another space in lima in ravine

but now that as it was it comes and

gives me a hug very very meaning and I

says literally gonzalo thanks to that

everything has been twice we got ball and

they fixed the square

I wanted to die to llop and assault a

tear

There he gave a lot I do not know if I was the

protagonist in reality of these and but

yes I think it gives a little bit of granite

sand for this story to have this

kind was the happy ending

I think the fact of disclosing

comment about talking about this visibiliza

all these things that make us

worry about our heritage and it’s

important that we all get involved in

is nobody protects what I do not know

so what should we do to worry about

for knowing what we have in Lima

that seems to me to be important and vital

and now I want to break some paradigms

Take away that you have also found

on the road east of the back of the

corner which are the following number

one

people do not care not interested in

history is boring and heritage is

the past for these things are the worst

that may exist against our

heritage

people do not care not interested listened

20 times to no country

I tell the story of the term for

get us those people who live there but

care not no not interested but take care

the lady who lived and knew

perfectly his story and he was

I was confident that that was part of

his story and if he was interested

know who does not care are more people

well that does not live in the environment that comes

and because of ignorance or not knowing

value what what there is

the story is boring

the story is not boring as

demonstrates the professor vázquez in the inti

raymi field and connects us with our

gone and makes us be proud

is we feel we are amused

close

the heritage is the past a lot of people

he says it can not be a huaca the dragon

water is an obstacle to him for the

progress find this we have

talked about generating spaces traveled

tourist etcetera

heritage is the future that’s why

we must take care of our heritage

filled the funny story and

interesting is relevant if I win over

times and heritage is the past not the

heritage is he is he is the future and

what is this is something that has that

logical order the prince

the first one means to want to know

he wants to fall in love with the second one and they want

protect they want to know who

fall in love they want to protect this

order again that appears to know

want to protect and how can we

involve more knowing lima but there

two ways to know lima a space the

mind and go and take as you see the fact

to know what there is that by

know about Lima as well as some friends that

they have come today too and not

they knew this space and they thought

wow what chef that showed that they beat that

is what I want you to see and the

another side is simply known

Voice gateway to other people

today in spain I went to such a place

I do not ask you to do extreme things

if you can not do it if you want

get involved like Professor Vazquez has

given if this one if they want to do things

illegal as the lady and save but

returning please

also but I only ask you

have the desire and the desire to know

Lima and now does not want to know more about

lime

if everything is just around the corner

Thank you

me
