S P I R I T - S I S T A R S . These are the sistars I shared my inner most thoughts with, shared words, wounds, poetry, prayer, ceremony, songs, tears, food, blood and so much more. It’s been over 20 years since the group was asked to share and it was just supposed to be once. Many years later we still get asked. Generations of gente know our pieces, sing our songs across the continent at ceremony, in circle and as lullabies. It’s beautiful to see the fruits of our labor, and remember the stuff we and many others had to go through so we could have womxn on stage or creating art - unapologetically sharing our stories, sadness and strength. I will be forever indebted to the sistars of @inlakechmdm. Thankful to know them and to have the honor to share these songs and this sweet medicine. Join us at the upcoming @mujeresdemaiz 22nd anniversary live art show on 3/9 called Xingona.x Fest as we honor another year of xingonaness.

STRIKE SOLIDARITY! Sending love, solidarity and fuerza to all my teassher friends and sistars as well as the counselors and more that I know who are walking the line. As a former UTLA member and current CFA union member I am in full solidarity. Here’s some pics from the last few days by me, @loreloves @alexasyollotl , Rusbi and @xelaquetzal - as parents and teachers holding it down! GRACIAS XINGONAS!

XICANX FUTURITY - honored to be in ceremonial artivist sisterhood w/ estas xingonas and have some of my Raramujer work and carts be a part. . The group exhibit focuses on the work of six Xicana artists: Celia Herrera Rodríguez, Felicia Montes, Gina Aparicio, Gilda Posada, Margaret ‘Quica’ Alarcón & Melanie Cervantes. These artists engage in an intergenerational dialogue that centers Indigenous forms of communal and hemispheric ceremony, rooted in sacred relations. Collectively, their respective artistic practices inform an emerging conceptual and aesthetic decolonial social practice within Chicana/o/x Art. Guest Curators: Carlos Jackson, Associate Professor & Chair, Chicana/o Studies, UC Davis María Esther Fernández, Chief Curator, Triton Museum of Art, Susy Zepeda, Assistant Professor Chicana/o Studies, UC Davis. An opening celebration will be held at 2 p.m. Jan. 27, w/ a panel discussion at 2:30 p.m. with all six artists. Open through May 5th. #xicanxfuturity #ucdavis #xicanx #chicanaart #xicanaart
