Happy Mexican Revolution day! 🇲🇽. Do you know what and why we celebrate on November 20th every year?
-
• By 1910, the dictator Porfirio Díaz had ruled Mexico for over thirty years. People were vastly unhappy with his abuse of power; so, with the uprising led by Francisco I. Madero, the Mexican Revolution began on November 20th of that year against Díaz re-electing himself again.

• Soon, other political forces joined the movement, like Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. Díaz was finally brought down in 1911, exiling himself to France, where he died in 1915.

• The Constitution was restored and the popular vote established, but the Revolution continued, and it was a bloodbath (the 8th highest death toll of 20th century wars) with many revolutionary movements and political disagreements.

• Conflicts and instability went on for so long that experts disagree over when the Revolution ended. Some say 1917, some say 1924, and some even point at 1940. But it was a necessary conflict for Mexico to establish its identity, enforce its Constitution, and reach maturity.

Hola! Come join us for a private tour of MOA’s feature exhibition. Limited spots available so make sure to sign up while you can! Details below:

Join Dr. Jill Baird curator of MOA’s new feature exhibition Xicanx: Dreamers + Changemakers / Soñadores + creadores del cambio, in a special tour for the UBC Mexican Student Association. Xicanx (May 12,
2022 – January 1, 2023) features many contemporary works by 33
artists of Mexican American heritage–self-identified as Xicanx. These
works combine traditions with contemporary experiences and realities to create powerful critiques that help build our understanding of the issues of race, migration, and identity that impact the Xicanx
community.

This tour will engage with the themes and ideas of the exhibition, including complex identities, activism and the concept of borders.
