Title: Que no se calmen las aguas
Description: The editorial project "Que no se calmen las aguas" (Don't let the waters calm down) documents three historical art actions made in different countries and decades, in which the grounds of protest, the theatrical and the performance meet, generating political imaginaries and ways of resisting State violence. The first book is dedicated to the action entitled "Ay Sudamérica!" held on July 12, 1981 by CADA (Colectivo Acciones De Arte) in Santiago de Chile. The second book delves into the protest made by ANCIEZ (Alianza Nacional Campesina Independiente Emiliano Zapata) October 12, 1992, during the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Conquest of America in the City of San Cristobal de las Casas, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, which marks the future appearance of the EZLN (Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional), the far-left libertarian-socialist political and militant group that controls a substantial amount of territory in the southern state of Mexico. The third book is dedicated to GAC (Grupo de Arte Callejero), specifically to the project Aquí viven genocidasʺ (Here live genocides), carried out since 2001 in Buenos Aires Argentina. The collection was carried out in collaboration with the choreographic research collective La Liga Tensa, made up of Nadia Lartigue (Mexico), Esthel Vorgig (Mexico/Italy), Juan Francisco Maldonado (Mexico), Lucía Naser (Uruguay) and Carolina Guerra (Uruguay).
