For Mar … es de México, Fundación Santa Lucía A.C. It is very gratifying to collaborate with institutions that, like us, believe in education and art as fundamental tools for the protection of our natural and cultural heritage.

At Mar … es de México we believe in the importance of preparing future generations. This preparation aspires to include education through art and culture to train people capable of creatively facing and managing the ecological, cultural and social problems that afflict us as a Nation. This education must be comprehensive and must include all people regardless of their socio-economic context. However, we believe it pertinent to start with the people who live in the most remote contexts of our complex geography, such as the communities that live in the coasts, mountains, jungles and forests of our country.

The video that we present below is part of a voluntary work carried out by Mar … es de México to publicize the important work that El Sueño Zapoteco A.C. To alleviate the effects of extreme poverty in the Sierra Sur and Costa of Oaxaca, it carries out essential tools to achieve the aforementioned objectives, building schools and bringing the Internet to marginalized communities.

We hope you enjoy it!

In the summer of 2014 the disappearance of 43 normalistas in the State of Guerrero saddened the Mexican Nation. That same year, while sailing on board the schooner Santa Lucía, we were surprised by the tropical depression “Manuel”.

Manuel wreaked havoc along the coastlines of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco.

Mar es… de México was founded in 2009, and began activities in 2011 at the Vasconcelos Library with an exhibition of photography and painting, a recital with variations on the sea, composed for the foundation by the teacher Eduardo Castañón, and performed by : Soprano: Araceli Pérez Vizuet, Violin: Damiana Orue, Cello: Dominique Petrich, Piano: Emiliano Orue.

We also had a round table on the sea made up of artists and academics: César Carrillo, Augusto Álvarez, Carlos Jurado, Rafael Vargas, Eraclio Zepeda, César Rangel, Eduardo Castañón and Fernando Cordero, as well as a series of films with a marine theme on their own Library, which lasted two months.

Mar… es de México had the privilege of collaborating with the exhibition by the author César Rangel, entitled Ni César Ni Rangel, held in 2000 in the exhibition hall of the Ministry of Commerce at CDMX. The sponsorship of Mar … es de México in the production of this video and in formal supports for the assembly of the exhibition.
