Tejemos redes. Tambi矇n las procuramos y ayudamos a que otros las hagan con sus herramientas, con sus talentos, con sus propias realidades. As穩 como las ara簽as o los artistas en sus telares. Nuestro prop籀sito no es quedar bien con la comunidad cient穩fica, pol穩tica o art穩stica; m獺s bien, es hacer lo que nos gusta y enlazarnos para que otros hagan lo mismo: tomar a la escuela, a los pueblos y a la naturaleza como mentores.
Afortunadamente, en todos lados hay personas generosas dispuestas a tejer con o sin nosotros, especialmente j籀venes, lo comprobamos en el 2繙 Foro Itinerante Binacional Arte, Ciencia y Tradici籀n hacia la Sustentabilidad. En ese espacio observamos c籀mo, con los recursos que ten穩an a su alcance, j籀venes de preparatoria y licenciatura cuestionaban el orden establecido para cuidar el tejido social y ambiental generado desde 矇pocas ancestrales.
Dicho tejido puede compararse con un hermoso rebozo que sirve para cobijar lo m獺s preciado, por ello, a dichos j籀venes no les importa mucho quienes son los que lideran o cual sea el beneficio que obtengan; lo hacen porque les gusta, porque creen, porque saben que otras realidades son posibles y lo vuelven propio, lo vuelven sentimiento y protesta, magia y pasi籀n. El rap dedicado a la naturaleza de Miguel ngel Gonz獺lez P矇rez, de la preparatoria comunitaria de Tres Mar穩as, una instituci籀n enclavada en el bosque, es s籀lo un ejemplo:
聶Y lo que en verdad es importante qu矇?
聶Les importa una mierda o nadie lo ve?
Es por lo mismo que en el pasado nos quitaron a 43.
Pero bueno: yo vengo a hablar de naturaleza
Y los 43 (refiri矇ndose a los estudiantes normalistas de Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, todos ellos j籀venes, que el 26 de septiembre de 2014 fueron desaparecidos por una red generada por el narcotr獺fico en M矇xico) fueron motivo de un mural que hace tambi矇n referencia a la naturaleza y el arte en la Universidad Pedag籀gica Nacional (UPN), sede Cuernavaca, en Morelos.
Los j籀venes (1 de cada 4 personas en M矇xico tienen entre 15 y 29 a簽os) est獺n posicionados estrat矇gicamente en una sociedad del conocimiento que crece a pasos agigantados. En una d矇cada este sector de la poblaci籀n ha tenido la posibilidad de aprender y enfrentarse, a trav矇s de la tecnolog穩a, a una sociedad que los estigmatiza como improductivos, in繳tiles o peligrosos, cuando son ellos los que se atreven a imaginar lo inimaginable, a equivocarse y a enfrentar diversos obst獺culos.
As穩, Nelson Castillo Alem獺n, estudiante de la Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biol籀gicas, del Instituto Polit矇cnico Nacional, pudo dar a conocer la manera como fue hacia la gente para trabajar el proyecto V穩as de recolecci籀n, transporte y parque vehicular de residuos s籀lidos urbanos de Jojutla y compartir con estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Intervenci籀n Educativa de la UPN, sede Galeana, tambi矇n en Morelos, formas de intervenir en problemas ambientales. Todos ellos son j籀venes de licenciatura, como lo son Lizbeth D穩az, Rubicelia S獺nchez y Manuel Gonz獺lez, estudiantes de la Universidad Polit矇cnica del Estado de Morelos, quienes, desde la pol穩tica p繳blica en M矇xico, ofrecieron un panorama sobre las Energ穩as alternas y las finanzas en M矇xico.
J籀venes como Lily Deer o Joni Saganash del 做厙勛圖 que compartieron lo que se hace en sus naciones ind穩genas, as穩 como tambi矇n estudiantes de la licenciatura en Educaci籀n Ind穩gena de la UPN- Cuernavaca, y las j籀venes mujeres Chontales de Tabasco, representadas por Ana Rosa Rodr穩guez Luna y Eduardo L籀pez Hern獺ndez, investigadores de la Universidad Ju獺rez Aut籀noma de Tabasco.
Todos ellos, los que estuvieron presentes en el foro y los que no, hicieron que nos comprometi矇ramos como tejedores, artistas o artesanos que enlazan sue簽os, proyectos y estilos de vida.

Weaving networks
We weave networks. Also we try and help others to do it with their tools, their talents, their own realities. Just as spiders or artists in their looms. Our purpose is not to look good in front of the scientific, political or artistic community; rather, it is to do what we like and link up to others to do the same: to take our schools, our (indigenous) peoples and nature as mentors.
Fortunately, everywhere there are generous people willing to knit with or without us, especially young people, we witnessed this in the 2nd Bi-national Itinerant Forum: Art, Science and Tradition for Sustainability. In that space we observed how, with the resources they had at their disposal, young high school and undergraduate students questioned the established order so they could care for the social and environmental fabric weaved since ancient times.
Such tissue can be compared to a beautiful shawl that serves to shelter that which is most precious, thus, these young people do not care much about who is leading or whatever benefit they could receive; they do it because they like it, because they believe, because they know that other realities are possible and make this reality their own, they render it feeling and protest, magic and passion. The rap dedicated to nature by Miguel Angel Gonzalez Perez, from the community college of Tres Marias, an institution nestled in the woods, is just one example:
And what about what is important, what about that?
Does anyone give a shit or does no one see it?
And that is why they took 43 from us
But hey, I come to speak of nature
And the 43 (in reference to the Ayotzinapa, student teachers from Guerrero, all of them youth that in September 26, 2014 were disappeared by a network linked to drug trafficking in Mexico) were the subject of a mural which also refers to nature and art at the National Pedagogic University (UPN), Cuernavaca, Morelos.
Young people (1 in 4 people in Mexico are between 15 and 29 years) are positioned strategically in a knowledge society that is growing by leaps and bounds. Within a decade this sector of the population has had the opportunity to learn and confront, through technology, a society that stigmatizes them as unproductive, useless or dangerous, when it is they who dare to think the unthinkable, to err and face various obstacles.
Thus, Nelson Castillo German, student at the National School of Biological Sciences, National Polytechnic Institute, let us know how he “went to the people” to work on the project “Routes for the collection and transportation of municipal solid waste in Jojutla” and he shared with college students, the majoring studying Educational Intervention at the UPN Galeana, also in Morelos, ways of carrying out environmental intervention. They are all young undergraduate students, just like Lizbeth Diaz, Rubicelia Sanchez and Manuel Gonz獺lez, students of the Polytechnic University of the State of Morelos, who, offered an overview of the alternative view on Energy use in Mexico and its financing.
Young people like Joni Saganash and Lili Deer from 做厙勛圖 who shared practices from their indigenous nations, as well as students of from the Indigenous Education program from the UPN- Cuernavaca, and the experience of Chontal women from Tabasco, represented by Ana Rosa Rodriguez Luna and Eduardo Lopez Hernandez, researchers from the Ju獺rez Aut籀nomous University of Tabasco.
All those who were present at the forum and those who were not, made us commit ourselves as weavers, artists and artisans that weave dreams, projects and lifestyles.
