Nahuatl

Martha Ramirez Oropeza is truly an icon for my inspirations, and she definitely meets my standards to be a true artist, and scholar. I wanted to write a blog about her because she inspired me in various ways, one of the main impacts that she had on me was that she helped develop an entire university, in a developing country like Mexico. That is a huge achievement in my eyes, which I could just not pass by; helping to educate the young in a developing country is greatly desirable. I wanted to write about her achievement in developing the Nahuatl University pyramid campus in Ocotepec, Morelos, Mexico; because this particular university focuses in the entire survival of the ancient Nahuatl language and the future of the language, a subject that is not being researched widely. As my own origins come from the Mesoamerican region, and I am a student it is greatly appreciated that she is helping to develop this type of research, I also like her art, as an aspiring artist myself I enjoy looking at her art and the different shades and colors she injects in them, murals are one of my favorite styles in the art world. Nahuatl is something I am interested and would like to learn about it more in the future, I believe with Martha Ramirez Oropeza’s work can help me and other students further understand the Nahuatl language and its people. I hope I can meet her one day in person and try to learn more from her in person, I think that would be awesome.
