Do you ask yourself, “who are we?,” “where do we come from?” How do we explain a leaving the United states to older generations that risked so much to enter the United States? Would our movements be more free-flowing, if national borders did not exist? Did the grand-parents of our grand-parents have the same life questions that we have today? What are some things that you cannot take with you when you move from the United States to Mexico? What does it mean to be “Mexican- American” in Mexico? How do we acknowledge that our past experiences are preparation for this time we are now living? Can we accept starting from zero as a necessary experience of growth? How do we convert non-assets in the United States into assets in Mexico? How did COVID-19 affect the tourist industry in Cancun? COVID-19 shut down global economies but also created new opportunities? What does the term Nepantla mean? Nepantla means, occupying the spaces in-between. Creating a bridge with people, knowledge and community. How does the mushroom connect our world in endless ways? What is the circular economy? This moment is asking for something new. What can we learn from mushrooms? Mycelium connects our natural world. Can Mycelium be used to breakdown cardboard? What are the rules for how resources are produced, distributed and consumed in the local economy? What are the many possibilities for Cultivo Nepantla? Can we convert waste into food? Follow Cultivo Nepantla on social Media. What is the funding campaign to support the growth of Cultivo Nepantla? COVID-19 transformed how we look but cannot transform what we care about.
