68 Voices
Nov. 23, 2024 – Jan. 12, 2025
2nd Floor, Presented in conjunction with Winter Wonderland
This animated artistic series, narrated in 68 Mexican indigenous languages, highlights the cultural treasures and heritage behind the tales of an indigenous community rich in traditions that celebrate diversity.
Moved by the loss of her Mayan grandfather, Gabriela Badillo sought to keep the legacy of his language, stories, traditions, and customs alive for future generations through this project.
The series aims to create an inclusive and contemporary project that avoids the Mexican “cliché,” instead representing a reinterpretation of culture through Mexican illustrators, based on the works of authors like Miguel León Portilla, Andrés Henestrosa, Hermenegildo López, Isaac Esau Carrillo Can, and Manuel Espinosa Sainos, as well as traditions and stories from oral tradition, revealing the importance of these pieces.
See this exhibit after-hours during select special events through Jan. 12, 2025.
