A documentary project on Zapotec language and identity in Oaxaca, Mexico in collaboration with Moisés García Guzmán Beginning June 23, 2018, five students will spend eight weeks creating a documentary centered on Zapotec, an indigenous and endangered language of Mexico. Six weeks will be spent in Oaxaca collaborating with Zapotec language activist Moisés García Guzmán (twitter.com/BnZunni) to explore how language is interwoven with identity and with the vitality of the Zapotec community, including the relationship between language and traditional farming, knowledge of plants and their uses, cooking techniques, food, and health. The team will then complete post-production on the project during the final two weeks at Haverford in VCAM during August.
