The National Museum of Mexican Art announced the schedule for its Sor Juana Festival 2023, a performing arts festival that celebrates the accomplishments of Mexican women, showcasing diverse artists and social impact leaders from the U.S. and Mexico. Events will run from Saturday, March 4, through Saturday, May 13th. The Sor Juana Festival honors one of Mexico’s greatest writers, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a 17th-century nun who fought for a woman’s right to education and is considered the first feminist of the Americas. The festival commences with an essential conversation with transgender rights advocate Sylvia Guerrero about the life and legacy of her daughter Gwen Araujo. Other March events include cocktails and conversation with #1 New York Times bestselling author Erika L. Sanchez and an intimate acoustic concert by Latin Grammy-winning artist Ely Guerra with a special meet-and-greet opportunity for fans. The schedule includes a film screening, theater, music and dance performances, art experiences, children’s book readings, and an interview with Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa. All events will take place at the museum. For more information, visit nationalmuseumofmexicanart.org
