The March: A Prayer from Mining Mountains

Berlin-based scholar and artist Jorge Vega presents The March, a video poem and semi-fictional ethnographic work-in-progress derived from his doctoral research on anti-extractivist struggles against mining in Mexico. Through video and sound experimentation, the piece captures the emotional landscape of the struggle to protect the earth, water, and air in the Mexican mountains, reflecting the pain, efforts, joy, and profound connection to the land, its mountains, and inhabitants.

About This Series

This event is part of the Living Knowledge Spring 2025 series. 

This series of monthly Institute-wide meetings begins a collective exploration of the theory and practice of oral history and ethnography as powerful, multimodal research methods for recovering perspectives and experiences that are often absent from traditional archives. Together, we will engage with diverse forms of research and communication across a range of media and visit local sites of interest.
