In Circle with Manxs Americanxs

Manxs Americanxs is a gathering group of Latinx women and non-binary cultural workers in the NY metropolitan area. Our practices focus on issues of culture, immigration, identity, colonial scars, ancestral healing, social justice, and art. Since 2018, through the initiative of artist Bel Falleiros, we have been making space to be together in a circle and bend time. During over 20 gatherings, we spent time caring for and nourishing each other with food, stories, healing practices, and a ‘found kinship' in our complex, different yet similar experiences.

​

In 2024 the group with the support of ChaShama and Materials for the Arts, did the first show "In Circle with Manxs Americanxs" weaving together the many things that give us strengh: community, arts, plantitas, food, spirit and joy. I had the opportunity to exhibit the work "A book holds words. Words hold things."
