Cuarta y última parte de la tetralogía PROCESO: José Gil Olmos en el Centro Cultural TierrAdentro, San Cristóbal de Las Casas.
El cuarto y último eslabón de la tetralogía corresponde al reportero José Gil Olmos, designado por PROCESO para la cobertura del Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad, y autor de los libros “Los brujos del poder” 1 y 2 y “La santa muerte”.
José Gil compartió anoche su experiencia y reflexión en la cobertura de las caravanas a la ciudad de México y a Ciudad Juárez, realizadas en el marco del movimiento que encabeza Javier Sicilia, habló sobre los retos y perspectivas, riesgos y debilidades, aportes y fortalezas de ese fenómeno social surgido del dolor y el clamor de justicia de las víctimas de la guerra de Calderón.
El reportero habló también sobre sus libros “Los brujos del poder: el ocultismo en la política mexicana” 1 y 2, que documentan los casos de importantes políticos mexicanos y de otros países que han recurrido a chamanes, hechiceros, espiritistas y brujos para alcanzar, expandir o conservar el poder, y para tomar decisiones que afectan a la sociedad en su conjunto.

Members of the Water Underground created the Aqualab…a series of activities, experiments, and artistic experiences in the Tenderloin National Forest in San Francisco. In this segment, “water agents”share how the Aqualab is a space to engage water beyond the faucet. Engaging with water by questioning and mapping where it comes from and where it is going (and in what condition) is part of making water in California a commons rather than just another resource to be consumed.
