About the Work
In Mexico there is a word that is used every day by most mexicans to respond to someone’s call: MANDE. The most literal translation would be “Command Me”. This word emerged during the conquest of Mexico in the year 1500, when the Spanish conquerors forced the indigenous people to respond with this word as a form of submission and respect to them. After more than 500 years, “Mande” is still being heard all the time everywhere, as a habit. And although it may not seem like it, words have power, and “Mande” makes mexicans feel weak. But Mexico doesn’t have to say “Mande” to anyone. Mexico is a country full of people who have shown the world what they can do. Mexico is conquering the world.
That’s why we realized that, if we change a letter, we can change history. MANDE, no. MANDO.
From “Command me” to “I rule”.
It only changes the “e” for the “o” but that changes the meaning of everything.
This is a message from Corona, the first Mexican that conquered the world, to awaken the conqueror spirits of 130 million Mexicans.
