El cargo GRAN INAUGURACIÓN DEL CENTRO DE POSIBILIDADES apareció primero en Centro Fox.

As of November 22, 2021, we managed to obtain recognition from the Guanajuato Secretary of Education (SEG), which, with its “Guanajuato Educator” program (with R for Reactivation), offers different schools the possibility of attending to different points of the State where they can carry out educational experiences.

Now we are part of these locations, where you can take guided and dynamic tours, not only of our permanent program President For A Day, but also our service of online education and the temporary and permanent exhibitions of the Presidential Library and Museum Vicente Fox Quesada.

Come visit us! We’re a national reference! #ViveCentroFox

With this short story, we give you a moment of peace in situations that seem to overwhelm us, a moment of love in difficult times.

Moving is always a delirium. And more if it is your first apartment, your first home apart from which you grew up. Throwing oneself into the trance of reality, the initiation to survival. What a delirium! And even more so when they are a couple of newlyweds who are risking themselves into the experience of establishing among the novelties of the difficult race of life. Relatives have encouraged them to think it’s going to be easy, that it is the beginning of the rest of their lives, but they know perfectly well, each one from his individuality, that life is more than words, and marriage more than roles to fulfill.

They had only been married a couple of months. One of them had gotten a job as a teacher in a city other than his and his partner’s. Both chose to live in said city, because they had to go where the job offer cried out for availability. As soon as they settled in the narrow apartment (a space with two rooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette) they knew that the plot of their lives would not be easy at all. Even so, their affection and mutual trust gave them the right assurance that they would become a widely interesting continuity; difficult as in all great cases, but ultimately wonderful.

Everything is new in the first days. Later the routine enters with the plan to stay, always accompanied by its most ironic weakness: that there is no day that is repeated. It is a matter of opening ourselves to the circumstances.

As in any beginning, there is little money, and a huge list of sacrifices to come. It was a cloudy day. One of them, now a teacher, left work. They had been placing their lives for a couple of weeks now. Before arriving at the apartment (her new home of his, to be precise), he bought a cheese and meat pie with the only money he had left.

He barely opened the apartment door, his wife was already waiting for him with one of those smiles that don’t fit anywhere. He returned her smile with all the fervor of his being, despite his tiredness, because there is always enough strength to surrender. They went to the kitchen. He took the pie out of the backpack and placed it on the plastic table. I bought you this, he told her, and his partner sweetly accepted. He’ll eat later, he’ll see what to do, the important thing is to look after his partner first, protect her; there is always plenty of time to surrender.

He put the backpack aside. And about to take off his jacket, he saw how his wife deposited a couple of small plates on the table and the pie cut in half. He looked at her, surprised. She smiled at him again. Eat with me, she told him. But… the pie is for you. I bought it from you, he said in a worried tone. But she looked at him deeply, smiled at him again and repeated: Eat with me. At that moment, the apartment rumbled with inexplicable heat: because we’re in this together, the circumstances explained.

Their gaze jumped back and forth from the bites of cake to their faces; he forced himself not to cry. It was happiness. They both ate in silence, their chests rumbling. They had so much to say…

Valeria Luiselli

Barely 22 years into a new millennium (which is quite a short time) and women continue to be shamelessly easy and constant targets of social prejudice, even as in the old days. We seem to know the story, but we tend to ignore it. Between sexism, xenophobia and other contributions of hate, the panorama of reflection seems limited.

Fortunately, for understanding the contributions of the so-called “minorities”, persist; which, hands on the table, have never really been.

Mexican author of frank and memorable writings, Valeria Luiselli is a particular exception in the world of feminism and literature. Unclassifiable, in favor of language and empathy, Luiselli knows, firsthand, that literature is not an easy job, much less for women.

Rejected countless times in her country México, and relentlessly criticized for her harsh opinion of feminism linked to banner actions and whining, her main cause is not, however, focused on a specific feminism. Its theme is the identity of the dispossessed, whether in emotional or territorial matters. In her works such as Lost Children Archive (2019) and Tell Me How It Ends (2016), she speaks of the fate of migrants through a hostile world perpetuated by social and political forces, with a lack of empathy, systematic. Tell Me How It Ends is, for example, a strong manifesto about migrant children awaiting a destination in the New York immigration court, attracting more readers every day. At a time when walls of intolerance exist and persist, migration has finally become a global priority.

Just as the contributions of hate persist at an accelerated pace, so do the struggles against repression. As Luiselli affirms regarding the idolatries of the system: “There is no need to occupy any place. Spaces of freedom must be invented”.

A female voice in the name of literary freedom and migration, an impressive mix that contributes to social understanding and the very evolution of current feminism, without a specific title, but with the commitment to exercise greater action, regardless of the sex of whoever it is. makes. Society evolves when it sets aside terms and conditions, focusing resources on empathy.

Twice nominated for the National Book Critic Circle Award and referred to as the new revelation of Latin American letters by the German press, Valeria Luiselli is a stimulating exemplification of a subtle feminism (without banners or explicit titles), social commitment (with actions and words by equal) and, of course, literature of the highest quality.
