The Latinx Project co-sponsored a screening of the web-tv series Brujos followed by a discussion with Ricardo Gamboa, Isaac Gomez, and Justin Ignatius Mitchell on re-imagining political television in the digital age. Students discussed how one makes political media content outside of the world of cable and network TV.
Brujos is a radically-politicized, queer-of-color web series following four gay Latino doctoral students that are also witches as they try and survive the semester and a witch hunt led by the straight, wealthy, white male descendants of the first New World colonizers. Brujos’ experimental approach to production and radical ethos has garnered the show significant recognition and a cult following.
This screening was co-sponsored by the New York University Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality and The Latinx Project.
