Free film screening | IXIM (el amor no tiene género) (“Love has no gender”)
June 10 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Please join us for a free screening of short documentary, IXIM (el amor no tiene género).
IXIM (el amor no tiene género) (“Love has no gender”) follows Mónica Chub Caal, a Maya Qʼeqchiʼ trans woman and activist, and her struggle for inclusion and recognition in her Indigenous community and across Guatemala.
Maya Mam film director, Alex PV, takes viewers along as he meets Mónica, intertwining the activist’s personal story with the rich cultural heritage of her ancestors. “Ixim,” which means corn in Maya, highlights how this essential grain nourishes bodies, traditions and entire communities.
The film is in Spanish and Qʼeqchiʼ, with English subtitles.
The film lasts about 35 minutes.
A discussion with Alex PV and Mónica Chub will follow the screening. There will be live English-Spanish interpretation throughout the discussion.
