In different ways, we are asked the questions ?What are you going to be when you grow up??, questions that do not lie outside the experience of those born in the sums of the global south. In contrast to the apocalyptic rhetoric and dissasembled lives, through young people narratives we propose the act of imagining future as a strategy of resistance that outer the limits of what can be thought. We look to the production of how young people manages to take shape in a context in flux riddled with tensions of varying densities and intensities that run through their lives and neighborhood.
