Motivated by a common interest in the multiplicity of languages as the foundation of culture, MAGDALENA TARAHUMARA 2018 generates a variety of artistic forms :
- It ties strong links between Tarahumara artists and non-native artists.
- It emphasizes the role of women in the transmission of language
- It proposes concrete solutions to the urgency of preserving indigenous languages threatened with extinction.
- It encourages multilingualism as an openness to dialogue and understanding of the other.
- Finally, i values art in the public space as a place for creation, exchange and encounter, where women, artists and indigenous people take their place.
