Artes de Mexico Sor Juana Prize Banquet and Celebration

This award is dedicated to Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, O.S.H. (1651-1695), a Mexican nun from the 17th century who was known for her exceptional intellect, poetry, and writing. Sor Juana was regarded as the "tenth muse" of her time due to her brilliance in various fields, including philosophy, music, and science. In addition, she was a champion of women's and minority rights, making her an inspiration to many even today. Sor Juana's work is taught in Spanish-speaking schools and universities worldwide.
