The award-winning film Mamá
The award-winning film Mamá (Mom) by Maya-Tsotsil filmmaker Xun Sero begins as a son’s search to understand his mother, and unfolds into an intimate dialogue and look into the challenges and violence she and other women face through the lens of daily life.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Monday, Oct. 13, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Norlin Library, N345, the University Libraries will host Sero for Mamá: A Mother and Son Tsotsil Journey—Film Moments & Conversation With the Director, a screening and conversation that highlights not only the film’s themes but also the Libraries’ growing commitment to showcasing Indigenous voices and stories in collections.
In addition to Sero, panelists will include Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese John Kennedy, Professor of Women and Gender Studies Leila Gomez and Libraries Events Coordinator and Mexican American/Mescalero Apache member Sarah Lizarraga who will invite the audience to engage in this conversation. This film is available for streaming for the month of October. Watch online.
