OAXACA INGOBERNABLE: REFLECTIONS FROM OAXACA'S PAST FOR OUR SHARED FUTURE
Historian Dr. Dillingham will situate the Maxwell Museum's exhibit “Oaxaca Ingobernable: Aesthetics, Politics, and Art from Below” (set to close on March 14, 2025) within the broader context of Oaxacan history and politics. Tracing the prehistory of the 2006 Oaxacan teacher's strike and social movement, Dr. Dillingham will discuss the longstanding traditions of Indigenous self-governance and radical politics in the state. The lecture will reflect on the contested nature of Indigenous aesthetics in the Americas, how they at times serve state projects of tourism and folklorization while other times fuel insurgent politics for an emancipated future. Dr. Dillingham is the author of the award-winning book, Oaxaca Insurgente: Indigeneity, Development, and Inequality in Twentieth-Century Mexico (2021).
