What: Lessons from Chiapas: A Night of Zapatista Storytelling and popular education on the continuing rebellion in Chiapas.
When: Monday, May 5 @ 6 pm
Where: Symposium Books, Kenmore Square, 526 Commonwealth Avenue
The event will include the telling of The Story of Questions, a Zapatista creation tale, and continued discussion of building autonomy, the struggle for immigrant rights here in the US (coming off of the May Day demonstrations on May 1), as well as information about how US activists can support Zapatista autonomous education by studying Spanish or Tzotzil in the Zapatista community, Oventic, through the Mexico Solidarity Network.
Please join us, bring friends, children, and strangers. We are striving to make the event as open as possible in terms of language and age — i.e. translation and child care will be available.
Participants will include former students at CELMRAZ, the Zapatista Language School in Oventic, and all of yourselves, come share your stories!
