Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. Muxes: Exploring Gender & Sexuality in Zapotec Culture

 

This lecture examines people known as muxes in the indigenous Zapotec culture of Oaxaca—a third category of mixed gender in a culture that is not divided by the usual dichotomies of gay and straight or male and female. To explore gender and sexuality in indigenous communities of Mexico, the Multicultural Student Services Center will show the documentary, “Muxes Authentic, Intrepid Seekers of Danger.”
