EXISTIR ES RESISTIR
About the Exhibition
Words from Alexa Treviño:
Existir es Resistir is a tribute to the resilience of our communities. As culture keepers, we move through the world guided by our ancestors and held by the strength of each other. This work is a celebration of identity, resistance, and the vibrancy of cultures that continue to bloom despite erasure, displacement, and oppression.
We are rooted. We are ancestral.
Our presence is not new, it’s a continuation of everything that came before us.
“These photographs are my offering to the Mission—my home, my community, and my heart. They reflect the beauty and strength that lives in our people: regalia passed down through generations, the wisdom of our elders, and the fire of our youth. Our diversity is not a fracture, it is our power. Each portrait is a love letter to the places and people who hold our stories, and a reminder that our culture is alive, rooted, and unshakable.”
—Alexa “LexMex” Treviño
