SUMMARY:Todos Agua 3
DESCRIPTION:SCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nDay 1 – Water\, Territory and Memory \nOpening Gathering and Community Forum\nSaturday\, March 21\, 6-9 PM\nEsperanza Peace and Justice Center \nWe 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.\nThe 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.\nThe gathering unfolds through an activist talk\, community dialogue\, and concludes with canto/poesia offering a closing reflection. \nDay 2 – Water\, Urbanization and Environmental Justice\nCommunity Forum on Environmental Justice\nSunday\, March 22\, 3-6 PM\nEsperanza Peace and Justice Center \nWe 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.\nThis gathering brings focus to the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers and industrial development\, and their strain on regional water systems.\nWe 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.\nThe afternoon unfolds through activist reflection\, moderated dialogue\, and closes with a canto/poesía offering. \nDay 3 – Imox: Water\, Oceanic Mind and Vision\nOnline Dialogue\nTuesday\, March 24\, 7 PM\nVia Zoom\nIn 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. \nDay 4  – Vivir Cantando II\nWorkshop & Plática with Julián Herreros Rivera\nThursday\, March 26\, 7 PM\nVia Zoom\nVivir 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. \nDay 5 – Song\, Memory & Living Water\nOnline Concert with Julián Herreros Rivera\nFriday\, March 27\, 7 PM\nVia Zoom\nAn 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. \nDay 6 – Returning to the Water\nClosing Ceremony and Outdoor Gathering\nSaturday\, March 28\, 11 AM\nBrackenridge Park’s Joske Pavilion\nWe 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. \nClick <here> to go to our Evenbrite event page to register.
