I'm really sorry because I wasn't taught to question ideas and social situations when I was a kid. I was raised to be a racehorse and never look to the side or worse look back. When I came to the Northern part of america I continued with that survival strategy in life. Being completely honest with myself. Me and My mom didn't have the time to think about changing the world or rioting against Fujimori’s Dictatorship. If we didn't work we didn’t eat. This situation continued in the US for many years. Now that I am older I have the opportunity to question the status quo and to develop art defending the oppressed body. Now that I am older also I feel super jealous of the ignorance of my younger peers who wonder about racism in Latin America. I truly wish I could afford that ignorance! But maybe I was wrong. If the art of saving a life is activism I was an Artivist since I was a Kid because I was saving my life.
