En una calle del Oriente: la construcción de contranarrativas de la marihuana a través de actividades artísticas en el espacio público.

Abstract

On a street in the East, next to the school of arts and crafts “Faro de Oriente,” within the tian guis “El Salado”, at Iztapalapa, around a pulque stall, for years groups of young people have taken over the public space with artistic proposals around to the use of marijuana. In this place, young people develop proposals and cultural and social practices in relation to marijuana, aimed at claiming their status as users, and the construction of counter-narratives around mar ijuana, from the specificity of the different artistic expressions. This chapter seeks to account for these counter-narratives around the use of marijuana, seeking to understand who takes this space and how they express their relationship with marijuana through artistic activities.
