The centralization of the practice in Mexico City may seem worrisome at first glance, but it’s important to remember that the greater Mexico’s capital city, with a population of about 21 million, is the confluence point for economy and culture in the whole country. People from all over the country have made Mexico City their home. This, added to the fact that the country has a decentralised arts infrastructure, even though it’s not always completely functional, permit to imagine that the live coding practice will find a proper and healthy expansion throughout the country in years to come. But most importantly, this expansion will occur naturally by the inherent qualities of live coding that combine so well with the needs of the artistic community in Mexico, a new economy country plagued by a long story of corruption and injustice towards most of the population by an ultra enriched and racist elite that systematically suppresses the native cultures and the women in general, making sure to increasingly shrink the possibilities for diversity, inclusion, good education, and artistic expression with every change of government.
