About this Event
Join KCAC for a special preview of Hugo Ximello Salido's MUXE: The Language of Art & Culture. This is a chance to have a personal visit with the artist and visionary behind this documentary, which will have a world premiere at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art on Friday June 28th.
"As part of my ongoing effort to celebrate and explore Mexican culture through art, I have been greatly inspired by Muxe - one-of-a-kind individuals who are assigned male at birth but grow up to dress and behave in ways traditionally associated with women. While there is some overlap with the transgender community, Muxe exists within a particular cultural context in Oaxaca, Mexico. They are not transgender women, as they don’t identify as women; they identify as Muxe. The Zapotec culture, concentrated in Oaxaca, is dominantly Catholic today and yet accepts Muxe as a vibrant and even necessary part of the community." - Hugo Ximello Salido
