INTEGRATION AND RESISTANCE TO THE GLOBAL ERA
In Ibil Hernández Abascal in 2007, one of the curators of the Biennial of Havana, visit Oaxaca where he meets the project "Maize is our life. " Moved by this voice of protest, consisting of the most diverse languages \u200b\u200band discourses, which seeks to educate and raise awareness to consumers on a crop that is actually CULTURE and an essential part of our identity, Ibil Hernández decided to include it in the next Biennial.
For the Biennial, THE CORN IS OUR LIFE, curated by Bersntorff Marietta, outlined in the Provincial Center of Plastic Arts and Design, an old two-story and personality. The exhibition brings together around 25 artists and is composed of photographs, video, installation, shadow theater, poster and a piece of intervention. It opens with a presentation by the curator Marietta Bernstorff and tamaliza, and soon became a party with music, mezcal and much corn.
Visited by hundreds of people, the show received favorable reviews, it was one of the projects which best reflected the premise of the Biennale. "Corn is our life" converges but not merged, respecting each source and context, linking the different voices in a cry dealer and relentless. Defending addition, a clear victim of globalization, and here I mean not only to corn as feed, but corn as identity, the identity of a people thousands of years.

the exhibition was the project "MARKET BAG", who participated with about 95 objects developed by artisans and artists from Mexico and Cuba.
Also, on March 20, opened the workshop on "Meeting of manners" taught by Marietta Bernstorff, with the participation of 25 Cuban women. This group talked about the origin of maize, differences in native seeds and the taste of food made with natural varieties, in order to bring "back the memory of our cultures."
During the workshop, and after covering the theoretical framework, we divided the group into two, half worked on native corn and the other half with transgenic maize. With the results of this activity made a collage piece that served as the entrance to the exhibition and a symbol of our solidarity with the Cuban women.
