We   Will   All   Shine   On

10/25/2014

 
What happens to art when a country is being terrorized by crime? Why create jewelry when people are losing their life for no reason? I've been asking myself these questions as violence, corruption and injustice escalate in Mexico. What can I do to stop this? How do I participate? My instinct (and that of so many here) is to be silent. To stop until things get better, until someone pays attention, and the government decides to change and support the people in this country, rather than themselves. But I can't shut up. I can't stop creating because this is my voice, and it is the only voice I can offer. The government has just cut funding for the arts, culture and education. Who are we if we lose our cultural traditions? If Mexico's artistic and intellectual output does not reach others? 

I have been hoping that other countries will care enough to sanction our government, and denounce the crimes committed against innocent people so that our leaders are pressured to change. But today I realized that I can't wait for others to care: I care, and I will continue to create and to support others who do so. As long as we can speak to each other directly, we will stay connected. We can all have a voice, and if we continue to use it, this country —and our people— will shine on.

We all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
On and on and on, on and on.
