Proyectos
Espacio MUY is a “gallery-plus.” It’s a cultural center in which Maya and Zoque artists congregate and, as a collective, investigate and create new clarity about their common Project. The MUY supports artists to work in their communities, show artwork there, carry out workshops that open hearts and minds to painting, sculpture, photography and other contemporary media, regarding the past and speculating about the future.
MUY’s Project focuses on the big topics of the Maya and Zoque today: spiritual ecology, the defense of territory, gender and sexual identity reset, First Peoples’ pride, and – crucial for Indigenous communities and the world at large — our special project on migration and Maya/Zoque transterritorial evolving identities.
There is more on our agenda for the second decade of the MUY, including traveling exhibits, the collection properly preserved and shared, and sending/receiving artists in residencies.
Can you join us in this Maya- and Zoque-defined initiative?
