Migraciones refers to internal migrations in the district of Aguablanca, it also serves to present this part of the city as an ethnic territory with many similarities with other territories from which many of the people who have migrated to it currently inhabit. For these people, thinking that everything would go back to the way it was before is a promise to return to their villages to farm, barter, and be close to the river or the sea again. Going back to the past also causes pain because part of your past has been forced displacement.

Everything will be as before, is a promise to return to well-being.
Nothing will ever be like before, is a promise to the future, giving radical imagination a chance.
Everything and nothing is a duality.
Thinking about the past is painful because nothing will ever be the same again.
Thinking about the past gives us the possibility of living in dignity because nothing will ever be the same again.
What if there was the possibility that everything would return to the way it was before, would we be enslaved again or would we be kings and queens?
