Guiomar Rovira and Rosaluz Pérez Espinosa in conversation with Kevyn Simón Delgado
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.

Cineteca Rosalío Solano
On the International Day of the Indigenous Woman, we present the documentary Mukí sopalírili aligué gawichí nirúgame (“The Woman of Stars and Mountains”), about the heartbreaking, incredible story of the Raramuri woman Rita Patiño, from Chihuahua. Rita left her community in the Tarahumara mountains and walked all the way to Kansas, where she was interned in a psychiatric hospital against her will, since the hospital authorities were unable to determine who she was, where she came from and what language she spoke.

On museums and colonialism
–
Patio de la Delegación del Centro Histórico
In 2022, Hay Festival and the British Museum teamed up to create the anthology Volver a contar: escritores de América Latina en los archivos del Museo Británico, in which a group of ten writers took up narratives about the past using the collection of Latin American objects in the museum, ones that have never been seen before. In 2023 we present the anthology Exploradores, soñadores y ladrones, in which six fiction writers look at the museum collections to bring to the surface a new collection of texts that question and reimagine predominant narratives. With Yásnaya Elena Aguilar(Mexico), Cristina Fuentes La Roche (Spain), and Josefa Sánchez Contreras (Mexico) in conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo.

Archives in Náhuatl
–
Patio de la Delegación del Centro Histórico
Libraries and archives, repositories of history… and of histories, in plural. At this event, we start from the idea of how non-hegemonic history, in the Mexican case particularly the history of native peoples, has been researched through the existence of extraordinary archives. With Baruc Martínez Díaz (Chinampero people of San Pedro Tláhuac), historian, translator, poet, teacher and author of Faustino Chimalpopoca Galicia. Un intelectual indígena en el México decimonónico, a work that shows us the existence, continuity and scope of the indigenous intellectual tradition in Mexico. And with Javier Eduardo Ramírez López (Mexico), who works with the Teotihuacan Diocese and Chalco Valley Archives, where 4,000 documents are being digitalized; these documents, in Náhuatl and colonial Spanish, cover the period from the first decades of colonialism to Independence. Both will talk to the Zoque thinker and academic Josefa Sánchez Contreras (Mexico).

Luis Felipe Fabre and Garry Gottfriedson in conversation with Guillermo Núñez
–
Museo de la Ciudad (espacio escénico)
Two fascinating poets tell us about their recent work, in conversation with the literary critic Guillermo Núñez. With Garry Gottfriedson(Canada), poet, rancher and member of the Secwepemc community, who has just published Tierra y lenguaje, a representative sample of his poetry, published in bilingual format (English/Spanish). Poeta griego arcaico is the most recent book by Luis Felipe Fabre (Mexico), poet, fiction writer and dramatist, who returns to poetry after a number of years away, taking up the mythological story of Medusa and Perseus. This is a masterly retelling of ancient legends, bringing them into dialogue with us and our present, with a poetic language so precise and evocative that the images he sings will reverberate long in the minds of readers. Introduced by Ingrid Bejerman.
Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
