The Uncolonized: A Vision in the Parallel Virtual Exhibition

Declaración del Artista 

Los  No  Colonizados:  Una  visión  en  paralelo es  un  vistazo  a  un  mundo  paralelo,  donde  el hemisferio  occidental  evitó  la  colonización  y  los  pueblos  indígenas  de  las  tierras prosperaron  sin  obstáculos.    Este  cuerpo  de  trabajo  celebra  la  herencia  indígena  de personas  como  yo  y  tiene  la  intención  de  invocar  la  curiosidad  sobre  las  historias  no enseñadas de nuestro legado mesoamericano. Al crecer mexicano-estadounidense a lo largo de la frontera en El Paso, nos enseñaron a enorgullecernos de nuestra herencia mexicana, pero no fue hasta que fui mayor que me di  cuenta  de  que  faltaba  una  gran  parte.    Mi  familia  pudo  rastrear  su  linaje  español fácilmente y lo hizo con orgullo. Cuando pregunté por nuestra otra mitad, me encontré con confusión, generalización o desdén. Hable con muchos otros amigos, que también eran latinos, y experimentaron respuestas similares. Sabían que eran de ascendencia española, pero el lado indigena era vago. Esto me llevó a investigar no solo de donde vengo, sino también las civilizaciones. Lo  que  descubrí  fue  que  no  solo  provengo  de  un  linaje  culturalmente  rico  (Rarámuri  y Zapoteca) además de también de sociedades altamente sofisticadas y tecnológicamente avanzadas.Desde la vulcanización del hulepor parte de los Olmecas hasta la astronomía y  las  matemáticas  de  los  Mayas  a  las  maravillas  arquitectónicas  de  los  Mexicas,  había mucho que aprender y de lo que es estar orgulloso de nuestra gente.¡Y nada de eso se enseñó  en  las  escuelas!  Con  esta  exposición,  espero  inspirar  a  otros  a  investigar  sus propias herencias ricas (adineradas) y abrazar por completo su complejos antepasados. Los No Colonizados es un mundo utópico de abundantes maravillas, donde todos los pueblos indígenas se unieron para formar una superpotencia en el mundo. Un mundo de Aztecanautas explorando los cielos; Mayamatemáticos abriendo las cerraduras de los secretos del universo a través de ecuaciones teóricas; Olmequímicos creando nuevos polímeros; y aleaciones para mover el mundo que avance y que los ingenieros  Zapotecnicos construyan la arquitectura del futuro.Es una visión inspirada en la ciencia ficción no de lo que podría haber sido, sino a través de la teoría del multiverso, lo que está sucediendo actualmente en otro universo.
