They // Them // Theirs
Skyborgs (Sociocultural Cyborgs for Nature and Collective Liberation)
Rio Grande Delta Carrizo Comecrudo Territory Maiza, Texas
Las Imaginistas is a socially engaged art collective building a culture of liberation for all beings. The group is based along the Rio Grande Delta in Estok Gna territory and is composed of skyborgs, sociocultural cyborgs working in the interest of nature. They are disruptors, truth-tellers, healers, shape-shifters, and magic makers.
The group has received an ArtPlace America national creative placemaking grant, A Blade of Grass Fellowship, and NALAC’s Catalyst for Change Award to foster racial justice. The group’s writings have appeared as part of the Ford Foundation Creative Futures provocations, the Architectural League’s American Roundtable series, and in Shelterforce.
Las Imaginistas is composed of queer, mixed-race, Uto-Aztecan, Mixecan, Chichimeca, and Mayan peoples. Current members are Ixchel Tonāntzin Xōchitlzihuatl (Black Jaguar), Rubén Garza (Ocelot), and Claudia Michelle Serrano (Murciélago).
