We think, fundamentally, that the future story of Latin America, not only of Mexico but for all of Latin America, will be constructed from the bottom - that the rest of what's happening, in any case, are steps.
People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.
Latin America was the most obedient follower of the neoliberal regime that was instituted by the United States, its allies and the international financial institutions.

Experiences in Latin America, people in Latin America, I want to bring them closer to those people, and I know I have to work extra hard at my craft to reach across these increasing chasms, these gaps that exist between different kinds of Americans, and that's the work of the artist, is to create these works that sort of help us understand our time.
