Join us for a lecture and poetry reading highlighting the experiences of the Jewish-Sephardic diaspora in Mexico. Our guest speakers will critically explore narratives that Sephardic Jewish societies developed in their diasporic experience, reflect on the transcultural identity of Judaism in Mexico, and discuss the importance of the Ladino language in preserving the Jewish cultural heritage.

Guest speakers:
