The third gender of southern #Mexico
In #Oaxaca’s #IstmoDeTehuantepec region, the traditional #Indigenous division of three genders is seen as a natural way of being.
by Ola Synowiec
26 November 2018" 'Which form should I use when I talk to you: feminine or masculine?' I asked #LukasAvendaño, who I had seen in trousers earlier in the day but now was wearing a traditional black skirt with colourful embroidered flowers called an enagua. We were speaking in Spanish, with its gendered nouns and pronouns. 'I prefer you’d just call me sweetheart,' Avendaño giggled.
"Here, in the Istmo de Tehuantepec region in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca, there are three genders: #female, #male and #muxes. This third classification has been acknowledged and celebrated since #PreHispanic times, and it’s hard to imagine life without muxes here. But in this region where most people speak the indigenous #Zapotec language, my question doesn’t make much sense.
'In Zapotec, as in English, there are no grammatical genders. There is only one form for all people. Muxes have never been forced to wonder: are they more man or woman?' Avendaño explained.
'We’re the third sex,' added Felina, who, unlike Avendaño, decided to change his given male name, Ángel, and goes only by this moniker. 'There’s men and women and there’s something in between, and that’s who I am.' "Read more:

Using advanced LiDAR technology, archaeologists have uncovered Guiengola, a 15th-century Zapotec city in Oaxaca, Mexico. Spanning 360 hectares, this fortified urban center features over 1,100 structures, extensive defensive walls, temples, and distinct neighborhoods for elites and commoners. This finding offers new insights into the Zapotec civilization's political and social organization.

Analysis of LiDAR-generated data suggests that the Zapotec site of Guiengola in Mexico was indeed a fortified city, the research mapped the size and layout of the structures and inferred their use based on artefacts associated with them (McGill University). #archaeology #science #lidar #zapotec https://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/remote-sensing-tools-yield-insights-abandoned-pre-columbian-mexican-city-362490

#Kanitlow, #LuviaLazo, A #PhotoSeries
"There is a word in #Zapotec that we use to name the fact of someone or something disappearing, when a close friend is not close anymore, when someone stops visiting as often as they do, when things transform and change or when someone is getting blind, that is KANITLOW which means 'Faces are getting lost ' or 'disappearing'"

Kanitlow
"Kanitlow, I am losing your face". Those were the words of Mexican Photographer Luvia Lazo's great grandfather, who was losing his eyesight ... Words that inspired her Photo Series. These photographs serve as a record of her community, the indigenous Zapotec People and their culture which fades with the passage of time

For more than 3000 years, the Mesoamerican culture area was witness to the rise (and fall) of more than eight great civilizations: Olmec, Maya, “Totonac," Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, and Aztec. The "Golden Age," or Classic Period, of these civilizations occurred between AD 150 and AD 900, but our interest here, will extend back in time to the very earliest Mesoamerican cultures, as well. #Mesoamerica #Olmec #Maya #Totonac #Teotihuacan #Zapotec #Mixtec #Toltec #Aztec
