Analog and print photography by Yuriria Pantoja Millán and additional materials from the Stanford Libraries will be displayed. Please email clasevents@stanford.edu to visit. 

Sylvia Marcos is a scholar commited to indigenous movements throughout the Americas. As a university professor and researcher, she has proposed a new vision in the field of feminist critical epistemology, Mesoamerican religions, and women within indigenous movements, while promoting an antihegemonic-feminist practice, theory and hermeneutics. Dr Marcos has accompanied the Zapatista movement since shortly before its public appearance. She finds in their insurgency the contemporary incarnation of what she has studied about the Mesoamerican episteme and views the Zapatista political proposal as a living horizon. Her talk will focus on her recent book Aprendiendo de las zapatistas. Tejiendo hilos en la preparación del encuentro europeo con la Travesía por la Vida, Escuadrón 421, which can be found here as a courtesy of the Al Faro Zapatista: https://alfarozapatista.jkopkutik.org/product/aprendiendo-de-las-zapatistas-tejiendo-hilos-en-la-preparacion-del-encuentro-europeo-con-la-travesia-por-la-vida-escuadron-421/ 

Margara Millán is a sociologist and social anthropologist, and professor at the Deparment of Political and Social Sciences at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Her research focuses on gender representations in social movements, critique of modernity, and decolonial feminisms. Dr. Millán participates in the Network of Decolonial Feminisms, México, and in the collective Llegó la hora de los Pueblos.

Yuriria Pantoja Millán is a photographer and graphic designer, lover of books and graphics inspired by the Zapatista movement. She has had the opportunity to “look through their lens” at meetings, comparticiones, dialogues, marches and other initiatives called by the Zapatistas since 1994.
