Description: Muxelandia' - the photographic exhibition and the photobook - tell the experimental narrative that is integrated by practices such as journalism, fashion, illustration and graphic design. The narrative is based on the fieldwork done in Juchitán, Oaxaca - with the muxes. The book seeks to promote, through photography and essay, the inclusion of non-binary practices. Muxes are transcendental, indigenous and Zapotec women (or third-gender individuals) who have existed for centuries. The book includes a text written by journalist Renata Juarez and in the portraits you can see the work of stylist Chino Castilla.
