The Mexican poet Elvis Guerra, who identifies as a muxe — a third gender distinct from male and female and recognised by the Indigenous Zapotec people since time immemorial — conducts a poetry reading in Zapotec.

Elvis Guerra will present his book Ramonera, to be published in Portugal in October 2025 by Orfeu Negro, marking the first bilingual edition published in Portugal in the Zapotec language and in Portuguese. In this context, Elvis presents poems drawing on his personal experiences and cultural identity.

This poetry recital, which features Portuguese translation, will be accompanied by an audiovisual experience immersing the audience in the cultural richness of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a region in Oaxaca, Mexico, known for its lively traditions and linguistic diversity.
