About Mardonio Carballo
Nahua activist Mardonio Carballo is a poet, journalist, editor, actor, broadcaster, producer, and translator who has been recognized by multiple state and academic institutions for his efforts to revitalize and celebrate Indigenous languages in Mexico.
In a recent interview with René Esaú Sánchez for asymptotejournal.com (October 16, 2024), Mardonio explained that "When people romanticize languages, they only want to learn the language but not the worldview that comes with it. But if you truly immerse yourself in a language, you’ll end up adopting that way of seeing the world, because that world was named through that language."
Discussion topics:
- The Indigenous people in Mexico and their music
- The most popular Indigenous artists in Mexico
- Music festivals in Mexico that present Indigenous artists
- The most popular social media platforms in Mexico
- The most popular music streaming services in Mexico
- Opportunities for Indigenous artists from Canada in Mexico
- Q & A
The conversation will be held in English with live interpretation (Spanish - English).
This webinar will be hosted on Zoom, so a high speed Internet connection and a Zoom account are required.
