Taller MXM is an online space dedicated to creative expression. A taller can be a studio, workshop, gallery, or collaboration. At MiHistoria we celebrate Latina arts across genres and forms, offering a space for artists to share their creative process and declare this is who I am, this is what has shaped me. Standing in that truth we find our voices and bring our unique gifts to a common struggle.
Taller MXM is named in honor of María X Martínez, who died of kidney cancer on July 15, 2020 in her San Francisco home. In 2010 María planted the seed that blossomed into MiHistoria, and she remains the project’s Madrina. Learn about María >

What strikes people about this painting is the Virgin of Guadalupe is enthusiastic. She loves her freedom, being herself, jumping off the crescent moon.
