Nikky
Nikky Lee Gálvez, originally from Honduras, is a 34-year-old transgender woman who has worked as a human rights advocate and for the rights of transgender individuals. In the future, she would like to establish a group home to support people who have been rejected by their families due to their sexual orientation or other reasons. Additionally, she has a desire to open a shelter for abandoned animals and help them find loving families for adoption.
She was a victim of violence by antisocial groups in Honduras, which forced her into displacement and led her to become a refugee migrant. Today, she has managed to establish herself with a dignified job and a place to live in Mexico.
Alexis Martínez
Alexis Martínez, a visual artist originally from Tijuana, explores art through corporeality and its representation, rethinking the use of specific materials. His artistic practice primarily revolves around installations, site-specific interventions, and performances. He materializes his work in the form of clothing to generate discourses about the body, using materials such as ceramics, soil, plastic, ice, and silicone to create living sculptures.
Martinez was part of the artistic education program “Nuevas narrativas nativas” by The Front Arte y Cultura and was a beneficiary of the Young Creators Program by FONCA in the category of performance and alternative media. Additionally, he was selected for the “XXIII Bienal Plástica de Baja California.” His work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, Spain, and Brazil.
