Summary:

The wixárika people (wixaritari in plural), Also known as hui chol, is an indigenous group of approximately 50,000 people that inhabits the Sierra Madre Occidental in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. They preserve their language and live according to their El Costumbre, the way in which they call their worldview and that determines their everyday and customs. The enormous richness of the Wixáric culture is manifested mainly in its traditional ceremonies and its extraordinary artisanal production. El Proyecto Jovenes Wixaritari Imaginando el Futuro is part of the program Ha Ta Tukari (Water, our life), organized by Isla Urbana and La Ventana Infinita, under the sponsorship of the National Geographic Association and Fundación Gonzalo Rio Arronte , Casa Cordoba, Isla Urbana USA. The a project Ha Ta Tukari since 2010, has served communities in the Sierra Wixárika, municipality of Mezquitic, Jalisco. The poems and photographs presented in this edition were created by a small group of young Wixaritari, from villages settled between the hills and ravines of the Sierra Norte de Jalisco, around San Andrés Cohamiata. These young people participate in an intensive program of workshops dedicated to imagining and envisioning possible futures for the Wixárika nation and developing tools to address them. Through forest management courses, reflections on his territory, and the various ways in which modernity is transforming life in the highlands, this work explores what it means to be a young Wixárika in the 21st century. For the participants, this was their first experience with poetry and artistic photography. The results offer us a window into the minds and hearts of these Wixaritari men and women. An invitation to connect with extraordinary honesty and sensitivity.
