The purpose of this reflection article is to highlight the importance of the use of native corn seeds compared to transgenic seeds in the framework of the human right to take part in the cultural life of the community, both for some populations as well as for some artists. A critical analysis is made regarding how the use of native corn seeds are an important part of social and material relations within the framework of the cultural rights of indigenous, peasant, afro communities, etc., as well as for some contemporary artists.
Some contributions that stand out from art and culture, allow generating spaces to keep alive traditions, values and practices, which haunt the ancestral cultivation of corn and its multiple uses. It is concluded that the disappearance of native seeds can represent an irreparable loss of the material and immaterial wealth of these communities, so that art and culture can become a tool of resistance against the legal restrictions that some governments promote, by establish misguided trade policies for the exclusive use of transgenic seeds and that lead to the disappearance of native ones.

El propósito de este artículo de reflexión es resaltar la importancia que tiene el uso de las semillas nativas de maíz frente a las semillas transgénicas en el marco del derecho humano a tomar parte en la vida cultural de la comunidad, tanto para algunas poblaciones así como para algunos artistas. Se realiza un análisis crítico al respecto de cómo el uso de semillas nativas de maíz forman parte importante de las relaciones sociales y materiales en el marco de los derechos culturales de comunidades indígenas, campesinas, afro, etc., así como tambié para algunos artistas contemporáneos. Se destacan algunos aportes que desde el arte y la cultura, permiten generar espacios para mantener vivas tradiciones, valores y prácticas que rondan el cultivo ancestral del maíz y sus múltiples usos. Se concluye que la desaparición de las semillas nativas puede representar una pérdida irreparable de la riqueza material e inmaterial de dichas comunidades, por lo cual el arte y la cultura pueden convertirse en una herramienta de resistencia frente a las restricciones legales que algunos gobiernos promueven, al establecer políticas comerciales desacertadas de uso exclusivo de semillas transgénicas y que conllevan a la desaparición de las nativas.
