The Return of the Herons
by: Tona Kinich
In an area that stands in contrast to the urbanized megalopolis, planting chinampas in the South of Mexico City is an act of territorial and epistemic defense, defying imposed development.

I am interested in the stories of people, communities, groups, and collectivities, stories of the towns, plants, mountains, rivers, canals, earth, and sand. I accompany health and justice processes that create non-hegemonic stories. I like to observe, listen, plant, eat, and sleep. I am passionate about self-publishing as a tool for the production of narratives of one’s own. I live in Mexico City. I collaborate with the Colectivo de Prácticas Narrativas and in the planting in the chinampa.
