The poems and photographs presented in this issue were created by a small group of Wixaritari youth from villages nestled among the hills and ravines of the Sierra Norte of 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 courses in forest management, reflections on their territory and the diverse ways in which modernity is transforming life in the sierra, 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.
