In this video, Judithe Hernández explains how the myth of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui serves as a powerful metaphor for the murdered women of Juárez. Dismembered by her brother and cast into the night sky, Coyolxauhqui’s story mirrors themes of violence against women. Hernández notes that many Latina artists recognize this myth as a culturally resonant symbol, using it to convey the ongoing tragedy and to help audiences grasp the depth of the crisis facing women at the border.
