La familia de Francisco Javier Santiago & Severina Villalobos Blossoms of Fire heats up Toledo By Rico An award winning documentary film, titled Blossoms of Fire, was shown on Mother’s Day at the Ohio Theatre in Toledo. Juchitán is the vibrant center of Zapotec culture in Oaxaca, México. It is a city of 100,000 on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, west of Chiapas. Blossoms of Fire spotlighted the colorful women of Juchitán, whose independence and strength have fueled longstanding myths of a matriarchal utopia. While the majority of the women work in the marketplace and handle the family’s finances, men have a vital role in the economy by farming and fishing. The Zapotecs have long been fiercely independent. They never succumbed to the Aztecs, were never totally conquered by the Spanish conquistadors, had their own victory over the French forces in the 1860s—celebrated on September 5—and were one of the first rebel groups, COCEI, that bolted from the PRI’s oligarchic control in the early 1980s. COCEI’s political mobilizations have been accompanied by extensive Zapotec cultural and artistic elaboration. Since the 1920s, Juchitecos have practiced and reinvented Zapotec painting, literature, music, dress, and ritual practice, interacting with and borrowing from national and international artistic currents. Blossoms of Fire depicted la familia de Francisco Javier Santiago and Severina Villalobos, as pictured in the above photograph, and how this family mirrored life in Juchitán, as its indigenous culture has been changing due to the influences of outside forces. This award-winning documentary was produced, directed, and edited by Maureen Gosling, who is a former Toledoan—she is a 1967 graduate of Rogers High School and a 1971 graduate from the University of Michigan, with a B.A. in Social Anthropology.
