ticho kanih "We are crying"

The Mexica held a ritual in which group/communities of people would cry together as a way of group therapy. They would use this ritual as a way to bring themselves to a holistic balance. I found it important to communicate this message in relation to our current condition. It is important to see how other cultures use a natural bodily/spiritual function to reach a balance after traumatic/stressful/exciting experiences.

The western idea of crying is much more tainted by being associated with weakness and the feminine.

In this scene we see a group of men and women equally expressing an emotion that is as real and essential as laughing, and loving. Crying is not always bad but is sometimes essential to the cleansing of our inner selves.

For some years now its rejections have been ritual repetitions: rebellion has turned into procedure, criticism into rhetoric, transgression into ceremony. Negation is no longer creative. I am not saying that we are living the end of Art: We are living the end of the Idea of Modern Art.”
