diosxs
2021-ongoingDiosxs is a rethinking of prehispanic mythopoetics through workshops with children of diverse nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
The means of the project are to deterritorialize the aesthetics of mythology and sacred entities, expanding on multiple methods of representation within heroic narratives and mythopoetics. It involves drawing workshops where children (8-12 yrs.) speculate on the many forms and embodiments Mesoamerican mythical beings may take.
Deterritorializing mythical narratives enables the creation of new narratives/worlds/visions that break free from existing power structures and limitations, thus allowing for the emergence of beings unconfined by the systems typically associated with the context of the myth or its various iterations in media. The metamorphosis of the divine bodies, highlights the understanding of mythical bodies as essential tools for interpreting daily life experiences and navigating the contemporary world.
