Sesenta y Ocho Voces, Sesenta y Ocho Corazones (also known as 68 voces), is an initiative from Mexico’s government Fund for The Culture and Arts (FONCA) that seeks to elevate Mexico’s 68 indigenous languages by preserving their myths, legends, poems, and stories in the form of beautifully animated short films. Their goal is to foment pride amongst speakers of these languages, and respect among those who don’t, under the premise that “nadie puede amar lo que no conoce” (no one can love what they don’t know.)
