South to south conversations: Thirty years of the Zapatista movement
–
Aula Forense en la Facultad de Derecho
2024 is the thirtieth anniversary of one the most important revolutionary uprisings of the last half century, one that resonated internationally and which continues to inspire emancipatory movements around the world. The Zapatista movement, with its egalitarian, community organization, its advocacy of traditional knowledge, and its impressive capacity for communication (it was one of the first resistance movements to use the Internet to publicise its ideas), offers us a living alternative to raw capitalism. At this event, Rosaluz Pérez Espinosa, who has studied at first hand the role of women in the construction of the Zapatista political project; and Guiomar Rovira(Spain), journalist, writer and author of Zapata vive, will talk to the Queretaro academic and writer Kevyn Simón Delgado, the author of Querétaro, historia de lucha. Izquierdas y luchas sociales en Querétaro.
