Join us for a discussion with artist Saúl Ramírez and Professor Selene Diaz as they explore our current exhibit “Dualidad: Gender Identity in the American Southwest and Mexico.” The conversation will center the culture of the Rarámuri (also known as the Tarahuma), who are an Indigenous group living in the present-day state of Chihuahua.

Merienda Talks are a free ongoing series at the El Paso Museum of History that explore current exhibits through informal conversation with experts. In Mexico, “merienda” is a mid-afternoon snack, a time to share conversation with friends over a bite to eat. In the spirit of merienda, our talks bring the public and professionals together to discover exhibits through discussion.

“Dualidad: Gender Identity in the American Southwest and Mexico” opened March 2024 and will be closing Sunday, June 8th, 2025.
