Jansen (Mixtec) is currently writing her first feature-length
screenplay. Her filmmaking debut My Mother's Rebozo was
produced with the financial support of the Netherlands Organization
for Scientific Research, as part of the research project "Mixtec
City-States: Nature and Development of Indigenous Socio-Political
Organization." My Mother's Rebozo, a film about Jansen's
return to her hometown in Oaxaca, was developed at the documentary
editing workshop of the Maurits Binger Film Institute in Amsterdam,
Netherlands. Jansen works as a lecturer at the University of Utrecht,
where she received an MFA in Literature. She was born in Oaxaca,
Mexico.
