DATE
Since 2020
Xinatli is an artistic initiative working for greater equity in ecology, art and society around the construction of a museum.
The envisioned museum Xinatli is grounded in the decision to contribute to an urgent climate change within the mind, utilizing art and aesthetic perception, an ecologically oriented way of building, and a cultural engagement with each other to help preserve the permanence of all life on our planet. Xinatli, is based on the terms Xinachtli from the Nahua language and describes the moment in which a seed germinates, growing into its life-giving form. The phrase symbolizes creation and honors the potential for metamorphosis.
In the upcoming years, Xinatli intents to promote artistic positions, especially works that address the threatening finitude of our planet, create ecological awareness, or fruitfully engage with the relationships humans, animals, and plants share.
