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.

They have presented performances and exhibitions, collaborating as artist/curator in Colombia,
Canada, Mexico, the United States and Europe, working with the National Museum of Art
MUNAL, Museum of Modern Art, Los Pinos Cultural Center, Museo Cabañas, Centro Cultural
del Bosque (CCB) by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura INBAL (National
Institute of Fine Arts and Literature), Ex-Teresa Arte Actual Museum and the Museum of
Transfeminine Art at Mexico, Museum of Contemporary Art in Colombia, SBC Galerie d’art and
Eastern Bloc in Montreal, Canada, Live Art Development Agency LADA (UK), Museum of
Human Achievement MoHa (Austin, Texas, USA), Human Resources (LA, California, USA),
Antic Teatre (Barcelona, Spain), La Neomudejárr Museum (Madrid, Spain), Transpalette Centre
d'Art Contemporain (Bourges, France) and Beursschouwburg Theatre (Belgium), performing in
festivals as Hemispheric Performance and Politics “Encuentro”, Rapid Pulse International
Performance Art Festival or OUTsider Queer Transmedia Festival. Their activism has been in
favor of the liberation of the Palestinian people, the rights of the trans community and organ
culture.
