Non plus ultra, concomitance mediated by Jose Iglesias Garc\u00eda-Arenal, was born in the south of Extremadura with the aim of contributing to generate narratives for the territory beyond colonial and patriarchal discourses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding that there was a correlation between the literal drought of the ecosystems of southern Badajoz and the more metaphorical drought of stories in the area, the group of commissioners commissioned the artist Francesc Ruiz to create a work that would help to generate new stories for the territory and highlight the richness that already exists in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the artist Francesc Ruiz created the comic *Los ca\u00f1os*, which reimagines the Los Ca\u00f1os de Zafra housing estate as a place where water once again springs from the pillars and where lorries have eyes, mouths, and thirst. It embraces historical memory and seeks solutions so that ecosystems do not collapse, whilst simultaneously finding gaps through which to escape the networks of hyper-productive logistics.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with the expanded comic, the comic ended up overflowing its own format and ended up circulating around the territory in the form of a poster that was used to wallpaper Los Santos de Maimona, an intervention in the magazine El mensajero, a vinyl in an abandoned petrol station, some stickers...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Ruiz's work, his work led to the purchase of a risograph printing press called El chorrillo, which the inhabitants of the south of Badajoz will be able to use to continue printing stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
