- **Event Name**: La Negrada, Film Screening + Lecture
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:45 pm
- **Event Description**: In honor of Black History Month we will be dedicating our Third Thursday to amplifying the stories of the African Diaspora in Mexico and the African ancestral roots in our culture. Next Thursday, February 19, join us for a screening of "La Negrada" paired with a lecture with local AfroChicana Scholar, Jazmine Janay Cuevas. 
 
In Mexico, the afro communities represents only 1% of the total population. They have never been recognized as an ethnic group, nation or culture, suffering discrimination as an outcast group. LA NEGRADA is the first Mexican fiction movie filmed entirely in one of those black communities, with local people, no professional actors. An effort to give them voice and make them visible.

Meet the lecturer:
Jazmine Janay Cuevas is an Afro-Chicana Fronteriza and Pan-Africanist whose ultimate goal is to elevate consciousness amongst Mexicans to embrace Blackness which has historically, legally, and socially been e-raced by processes of the state by searching for Mexcio's African roots. She is uncovering how West African Yoruba and its Caribbean ties throughout the diaspora have continuously shaped the transnational and venerated performance of Curanderismo. 
 
Currently, at Cornell, she is pursuing a PhD in Africana Studies Department with a graduate minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. She is Afro-Latinx Caucus Representative for Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Sociales, and a contract curator.
