Next September 26th, in MIRCo we have arranged a seminar along with our visiting colleagues Elyvaneth Martínez and Amanda G. Córdova, researchers at the Centro de Estudios Superiores de México y Centroamérica (Center for Superior Studies of México and Central America, CESMECA), from the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas (University of Sciences and Arts of Chiapas, UNICACH) under the title Prácticas artísticas como sustento de grupos de solidaridad y resistencia en México.
This seminar will have two sessions. The first, with the name Reconexión y resiliencia ecosocial: aproximación a las mediaciones y experiencia artivista en San Cristóbal de las Casas, Will be given by Elyvaneth Martínez. It will reflect on how artistic mediations of different agents and actors push for collaborative experiences of reconnection and community resilience regarding the forest. The second one, Juntanza: estrategias de re-existencia y prácticas emancipatorias a través de los círculos de mujeres-en-el-tambor, taught by Amanda G. Córdova, Will analyze how connections are established between the music of the drums and the reconnection with the body and personal emancipation.
Both sessions will deal with innovative, renewed aspects of ethnographic research. For instance, while the first one will focus on reconnecting and ecosocial resilience practices, the second will dive into the Mandala methodology and its use in social struggles.
The seminar is free and does not require enrollment. It will wake place on September 26th in the Aula Historicista in the Philosophy and Languages Faculty at UAM between 4 and 6PM, in a hybrid format. To engage online, click here to enter the Zoom meeting.
