\"Plus ultra\" is the motto that Spain bears on its coat of arms, \"beyond\" in Latin, a phrase that harks back to the age of Empire, to the founding moment of colonial patriotic mythologies, to the plundering and expansion of borders overseas and the gestation of racism and imperial logic as a raison d'\u00eatre, \"conquiro ergo sum\". \"Plus ultra\" encourages us to always go beyond, to go beyond all limits, the foundational logic of capitalism: the absurdity of infinite extraction and accumulation on a finite planet.<\/p>\n
These \"asphyxiating mythologies\" (in the words of V\u00edctor Chamorro) generate a gaze that detaches itself from the land and observes the soil as a source of enrichment. The project \"Non plus ultra\" brings together a series of young people from the south of Badajoz to think about the links, rites and imaginaries that we need to reverse a fascist narrative that imposes a single way of relating to the land. These concerns are expressed in our comarcas around water and the threat to water resources posed by extractive industrial projects.<\/p>\n

Through a collective study process on the rural south of Badajoz focused on the limits, the processes of exchange, contamination and mutation, \"Non plus ultra\" wants to find healthier ways of linking us with the land, with its traditions and symbols beyond colonial and patriarchal discourses. Throughout the project we will try to open up this search process to listen to different voices and ask how to see as a garden what we have been taught to see as a desert?<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":236,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-279","proyecto","type-proyecto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
