MEXICAN REVOLUTION EXHIBITIONS: 2010

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION:ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF REALITY

By:Carlos Vigueras

1910-2010

LA REVOLUCION MEXICANA: CIEN AÑOS DE REALIDAD

La Revolución Mexicana dejó muchos fierros calientes en la lumbre y luego murió asesinada junto a Emiliano Zapata y Francisco (Pancho) Villa. Hoy no podemos revivirla o recrearla con placer. Nosotros solamente estamos tratando de analizarla bajo la óptica de nuestras cámaras y tratar de ver que lejos estamos de los ideales que dieron lugar a ese movimiento revolucionario. Sueño que dejó más de 1 millón de muertos y una esperanza muy pobre de cambiar la vida de los mexicanos. Es imposible pensar en estos momentos del Centenario, en realizar una celebración o una fastuosa fiesta, para recordar el inicio de la primera revolución en América Latina. Por el contrario, son tiempos de evaluar lo sucedido en estos pasados años y observar en nuestro laboratorio, lo que hemos hecho de la realidad del pueblo mexicano. El futuro de México está en manos de todos los ciudadanos que aman a este rico y grandioso país, saqueado por las poderosas trasnacionales depredadoras del petróleo, oro, plata, cobre, zinc, biodiversidad y demás recursos naturales robados a esta Nación por más de cinco siglos. Esto con el apoyo de políticos y adinerados de una sociedad totalmente desigual e injusta en la repartición de su riqueza, que ha entregado estos inmensos recursos en perjuicio de los mexicanos del pasado, presente y por supuesto, comprometido su futuro, así como el destino de esta Nación.

Casasola Museum/ Museo Casasola es una entidad independiente, no lucrativa, dedicada a la cultura, arte y educación, que no tiene compromiso alguno con ningún gobierno, partido político, asociación religiosa o corporativa, o ligada al poder. Las imágenes que presentamos son una evidencia de la realidad, profesionalismo, arte óptico, espontaneidad y sobre todo de la búsqueda de la libertad y la verdad.

The Mexican Revolution left many hot irons in the fire and died later killed along with Emiliano Zapata and Francisco (Pancho) Villa. Today we can not revive this moments, recreate with pleasure, or living in the past. Now we just try to analyze it to see just how far we are the ideals that led to the revolutionary movement which left more than 1 million dead and a very low expectation of changing the lives of Mexicans. It is impossible to think at the moment of the Centennial, in a conclusion or make a sumptuous feast, to remember the beginning of the first revolution in Latin America. On the contrary, is a time to assess what happened in these past years in our US-México laboratory and see what we have done the reality of the Mexican people. The future of Mexico is in the hands of all citizens who love this great and rich country, plundered by powerful transnational predatory oil, gold, silver, copper, zinc, biodiversity and other natural resources stolen from this nation for more than five centuries. With the support of politicians and wealthy in a society totally unequal and unfair distribution of wealth, which has such enormous resources to the detriment of the Mexican past, present and of course, committed his future and the fate of this Nation.
