Todos Agua 3

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Day 1 – Water, Territory and Memory 
Opening Gathering and Community Forum
Saturday, March 21, 6-9 PM
Esperanza Peace and Justice Center

We begin by standing within the history of waters in Texas, the springs that sustained Indigenous peoples and early communities, the urbanization that redirected them, and the environmental battles that continue today. From the ancient springs of this region to present struggles over aquifers and industrial expansion, we ask how water carries memory of land, displacement, race, and resistance.
The evening features a conversation with Juan Mancias, Tribal Chair of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, whose decades of work defending sacred sites and waterways in South Texas ground this dialogue in the living realities of this region.
The gathering unfolds through an activist talk, community dialogue, and concludes with canto/poesia offering a closing reflection.

Day 2 – Water, Urbanization and Environmental Justice
Community Forum on Environmental Justice
Sunday, March 22, 3-6 PM
Esperanza Peace and Justice Center

We continue by confronting how drought, privatization, contamination, and unchecked development reshape access to water across Texas. Working-class communities and communities of color often face the first and deepest impacts.
This gathering brings focus to the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers and industrial development, and their strain on regional water systems.
We are joined by members of the Data Center Action Coalition, a community-based group in San Marcos organizing to protect water, land, and people. Locally and across the region, DC/AC works to build a broad and diverse movement defending the right of communities to decide their own future.
The afternoon unfolds through activist reflection, moderated dialogue, and closes with a canto/poesía offering.

Day 3 – Imox: Water, Oceanic Mind and Vision
Online Dialogue
Tuesday, March 24, 7 PM
Via Zoom
In the Mayan calendar, water is reflected through the energy of Imox, the oceanic mind, intuition, and the world of dreams. Through dialogue, we explore water not merely as a resource but as origin, movement, and living presence, reflecting on what it teaches about memory, adaptation, and clarity in times of collective pressure featuring Tata Kajkan Felipe Mejia Sepet, and Excy Guardado.

Day 4  – Vivir Cantando II
Workshop & Plática with Julián Herreros Rivera
Thursday, March 26, 7 PM
Via Zoom
Vivir Cantando returns as an invitation to explore singing not only as art but also as a relationship to territory and community. Through reflective conversation, we consider how song carries memory, builds presence, and strengthens our capacity to listen deeply to ourselves and one another.

Day 5 – Song, Memory & Living Water
Online Concert with Julián Herreros Rivera
Friday, March 27, 7 PM
Via Zoom
An evening of traditional and contemporary song rooted in territory, memory, and ancestral lineage. Through music that honors living waters and cultural continuity, we gather across distances to listen, reflect, and reconnect with the currents that sustain collective life.

Day 6 – Returning to the Water
Closing Ceremony and Outdoor Gathering
Saturday, March 28, 11 AM
Brackenridge Park’s Joske Pavilion
We gather on the land to close the week in relationship. A guided walk invites us to learn about local plants and Coahuiltecan–Pakahua traditions of this region. Through writing, chant, and embodied reflection, we offer back what we have learned. The gathering concludes in a collective movement by the river with danzantes.
