'''Lechedevirgen'''

Lechedevirgen (they, them) racialized trans non-binary “travesti /xochihua” artist who creates
from an anti-patriarchal, anti-colonial and anti-racist political perspective. Born in 1991 at the
Purépecha semi-desert of K’erendarhu in the mesomerican territory of Abya Yala, formally
known as the City of Querétaro, Mexico, one of the focal points of extremist conservatism and
the Mexican capital of catholic exorcisms. They are part of a genealogy of transvestite
artist/activist/shamans, conceiving their artistic work as the creation of acts of disobedience and
symbolic revenges, combining performance art, critical writing, photography, video, Latin-
American witchcraft and expanded transvestism. As a sexual dissident representative of the
Mexican underground counterculture and pioneer of post-pornography, they are known for the
invention of "Heterosexual Deconversion Therapies" (performance project against conversion
therapy and LGBTQphobia) and for creating the concepts of "Coloniality of Art" and "Spiritual
Transvestism". Is the author of "Deshacer el Arte” (“Unmaking the Arts”, OnA Editions, 2025),
"Pensamiento Puñal" (Dagger thought”, Dos Filos, 2022) and the political statement "I Don't Feel
Pride, I Feel Rage" a critique about the hate crimes in contrast to pinkwashing and assimilationist
neoliberal white gay pride.

As one of the current figures from the sexual dissidence who have transform the cultural
panorama in Mexico their impact has open museums and institutional art spaces to subaltern
groups such as trans women, queer communities and sex workers, through disrupting
performances, curatorial practices, cultural activism and denouncing acts of discrimination. Due
to their activism, the National Museum of Art MUNAL made a public apology to the artist after
they suffer transphobic discrimination inside this museum, this was a historical and crucial
milestone to the arts and culture as a turning point in the arts structural/institutional
transformations in Mexico.
