Dive into stories where water shapes the land and memories flow through every corner.
About this Event

We begin by standing within the history of waters in Texas, the springs that sustained Indigenous peoples and early communities, the urbanization that redirected them, and the environmental battles that continue today. From the ancient springs of this region to present struggles over aquifers and industrial expansion, we ask how water carries memory of land, displacement, race, and resistance.

The evening features a conversation with Juan Mancias, Tribal Chair of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, whose decades of work defending sacred sites and waterways in South Texas ground this dialogue in the living realities of this region. 

The gathering unfolds through an activist talk, community dialogue, and concludes with a canto/poesia offering as a closing reflection.
