"Jamaica y Tamarindo: Afro Tradition in the Heart of Mexico" - Film Screening and Q&A with director, Ebony Bailey
10.06.2022 | 4:00 – 5:00 PM | Zoom Webinar
Join the Center for Race and Gender for a Zoom screening of "Jamaica y Tamarindo: Afro Tradition in the Heart of Mexico" (21 mins), and Q&A with director, Ebony Bailey. The jamaica flower and tamarind are iconic ingredients in Mexico, but their history comes from a place much further away. In Jamaica y Tamarindo: Afro Tradition in the Heart of Mexico, we meet five people to explore African heritage in Mexico City, an identity that goes beyond the color of one's skin. Join us for a special screening and conversation about race, migration, gender, and colonialism in Mexico.
This series installment is sponsored by the Center for Race and Gender, the Multicultural Community Center, Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq), UC Berkeley's People & Culture - Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB), and the Townsend Center for the Humanities. The Radical Kinship Series is curated and hosted by CRG’s Arts and Humanities Initiative Research Scholar, Alan Pelaez Lopez.
