Happy Enero Rebelde!
Enero Zapatista is a month-long series of politically and culturally conscious events that has been carried out for 18 years on unceded Kumeyaay land in what is now known as San Diego, California that commemorates the uprising of the Zapatistas in January 1994.
The theme for this year’s Enero Zapatista is….
Imagining Our Collective Autonomy:
The imagining of our collective autonomy is the seed that permits one to confront capitalism as a whole and imagine the worlds that do not yet exist, while protecting the worlds that do exist and have resisted and been preserved for millennia. Collective Autonomy is not just building an autonomous world but a balance of deep analysis of the pattern of destruction to create something that does not replicate the latter. Imagining is the making through a horizontal praxis that prevents the power of one to dominate, to instead allow the power of a whole collective body/community, to move, transform, create, imagine, and protect our mother earth.
