let’s start with an exercise

perception

yes because according to how we see the world and

how we act in general

what color is my white handkerchief or

black white white white keith because

nobody said cream other color champagne

only the two options this is the

they took because they were imposed

beyond the reality that is rarely

well because not everything is generally white

or black where life teach us the

options but in general they are in

function to normal

normality only represents the

majority and we’re going to use this to judge

the thoughts the ideas or the

people around us and we are going to divide

all in these two criteria normal and

abnormal but we also said that is the

This is not true because it presents us

a huge range that we know as

diversity for me diversity sounds

fun fun and exciting

with 3 a lot of options

nothing better than that everyone will choose

these options and you are going to put together your own

taste ideas toolkit

of affinities plus all the things that do not

we choose to be fat black whites

skinny between a religion between a

school of thought and it’s great

because they will never see two games

same

the problem is not this the problem is

that we do not educate to know with Juan

different we can be neither to respect

this also happens that facing the

diversity many times we are in a

ignorance situation this

situation of how good because that’s

different than maybe unlike the

what are we talking about and

It’s great because it presents us with a

challenge an emotion but the counterpart

of ignorance is the fear of seeing

this is natural is perfect because

in front of something unknown that can be

a threat

you have to be careful that getting away is

biological is how we evolve as

species in front of something we do not know if

it can harm you physically we move away

but what happens when a

different person an exotic person

strange for a reason that thinks

different that feels different kind of

physically hurting you can hurt you

not really

then why do we choose to react with

fear many times to this situation of

ignorance

we are afraid of that person or

We are afraid that he will take us away from this

space of normality this space

comfortable this comfort zone of which

nobody laughs or mocks

I would like to speak some words

that is used a lot in the educational field

to try to counteract these

fears these rejections

these words are inclusion tolerance

integration

the problem for me is that they are only

words when at least they should be

values of life that passes either the

we are thinking in reality we are going to

go on to define them and start with

tolerance tolerance biologically and

the agency’s ability to accept and

resist the contribution of certain

substances that he tolerated up to here

integration inclusion are also not so

and we think them well both have

seized from something loose include it the

total

let’s think of a person who for some

reason can not be included and the truth

is that it’s too late for someone

It needs to be tolerated included integrated

he suffered intolerances this afternoon

then I propose another little word

acceptance

the situation comes from long before never

Let’s make this situation we know that

person in this way but eye is a

word and all have limits

there are things that should not be accepted

not all opinions should be respected

let’s say good in my opinion

respects the views opinions there are

kill them all

unfortunately not that you can not

accept because if your ideology its form

to think or to perceive others

incites violence does not have to

be accepted and that sounds very

terrible but now on facebook

in any controversial discussion by

several people opining like that is the

reality

we saw a lot with this then

we are talking about words not of the

vocabulary

what I propose today is to do the most

diverse

let’s think about the words we use

let’s think and repense, let’s play and we’ll do

in all areas especially

educational with the right words and

without taboos and fears you can say everything

everything that comes out because what does

the tabo been great prejudice and the

prejudice

violence we also think the

diversity as a value of life because

if we are not going to need life we

ensures something to everyone and everyone

like it promises us pain yes or yes no

you can escape and in this case you

presents in a very, very cruel way

we will find a look

discriminatory rejection and

ignorance and disrespect and they know

how it hurts more and the bet doubles

when I have seen it through a being

wanted a son of a father a brother

in my case a sister my sister does not

chose to have a degenerative disease

that the 20 years would reserve her

He chose to live many years in a chair

wheels and I lived through it the

looks of rejection and discrimination

institutional violence that does not

there would be an answer for these situations

then this situation and in so many

others would not be much better to live in

a diverse society that I saw with eyes

diversity with eyes acceptance

to give it life we have to use the

curiosity

Curiosity is an exercise must

stand in front of the unknown and

ask what better situation to

know how to soak up culture in front of

a person who presents it in flesh

live you do not have to go to google to

look for it

we have a voice to have a living being there and

from the respect because off can think

good but maybe he does not want that person

be asked if ok to think it’s worse

that person is judged because a

filling in the spaces that you’re not

asking with thought that perhaps

they are not the question if respect is done

to be fine and you can also

ask che bothers you ask

we can not change what we are not

we can choose to stop expressing our

diversity for fear of rejection because

we can not stop being what we are

we are all more or less diverse

I can not stop being Jewish one day

for the other because someone wakes up

and she says no because she is Jewish her bad person

others can not stop the ejido leave

to love who he loves because he is the same

same – sex gender

another person can not stop having a

skin color that maybe is not right in

that culture stop being obese stop

be petizo someone always something is going to

bother

then you do not have to do it because

we can even think about it I would like

retake the example the colors because

it happens that in the options we do a lot

this matter of the ordinary does not enter

black and white

what options do I have two is an optics not

and if we think about it somewhere else between white

and black to huge range that the scale of

gray

let’s talk about where we find

a lot of this the ordinary is

finds much in gender and sex

They teach us guys Men’s

women

the girls and boys the pink and the

celeste but that happens to name him spam

the other three genders man woman and

gender to gender and generated fluid to a

parenthesis here to define the latter

because maybe they have not heard them before

fluid gender are those people who

flow between man and woman to taste

happens to a new little word I’m

saying today he has never heard them

so how can you say that they do

best selections but to know the

options and how can you say that you respect

if you do not know me at this moment in my

I have my own game and all

tools my own kit I’m Jewish

as I said his wife

logically fluid artist was generated

morocha had and a lot of other

things and know that it is essential to know

all and each one

deeply to know who I am

I am also very freaky I love the

comic world to the art of those things

fantastic I did not remember the heroes

and the villains the heroes that are so

good and those who are no longer but so

bad and what will it bring today

today I spoke to you my great dream is today

it’s diversity and acceptance

those huge words are so powerful

that can change enormously all

as a society as people but there is a

great adversary the nemesis the great

villain and xenophobia and his henchmen

the other jewels and unjustified what

we see in this mister job is already fear or

the irrational hatred of another character

strange alien or exotic

of this amount in society then

must propose that we do the opposite

of the different a reason for celebration

because we think the difference as

that we as a society and think about

society also as a compound world

by small constellations that each

if rich we nuance give color to the whole

new ideas thoughts ways of

feel or colors that we see in a

handkerchief

I propose the art of ce no filia

because art is technical in technique

is the one known as the girl before and the

practice is done every day to

do a little more and not physical and

then I wonder what it is that to voice

after a stranger an alien an exotic

for others and play what’s around you

through two colors or a range

diverse

thank you very much
