On April 18, join us for a screening of the film La rebelión de las flores (The Rebellion of Flowers, 2022, directed by María Vásquez, script by Moira Millán), with English subtitles. After the film screening, we will have a round talbe discussion with award-winning Mapuche author, Moira Millan—the film’s main protagonist—about the struggle of the Mapuche people in Argentina to defend their ancestral homelands. In the Mapuche tradition, Millan is a weychafe (guardian, defender, warrior) and the founder of the Movement of Indigenous Women for Buen Vivir or Living Well, which advocates a way of life in harmony with nature. Millan is the author of: The Train to Oblivion. A Novel (2023) and Terricidio (2024, the murder of Mother Earth). This event is sponsored by NAISI, The Department of English, Creative Writing Program, The Department of Film and Media, the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, and the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry,
