Manxs Americanxs is a gathering group of Latinx women and non-binary participants living in New York, working on issues of culture, immigration, identity, social justice and art. Since 2018 we have been making space to be in circle and bend time to be together to caring and nourishing each other.
"Take in your hand seeds and sing, singing, you sow."

Manxs so far brings together Puerto Rico, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Colombia, New York, Miami and weave the complicated, beautiful and contradictory stories that connect us, (her)Manas of the Americas.
Since 2018, being with Manxs Americanxs is to known that “Something is really seriously wrong and yet that’s not all that’s happening” as Donna Haraway said.
In 2024 Manxs Americanxs was granted space and fund for both intimate and public activities, including exhibition, screening, talks, workshops, healing session, food and celebration. Check more about In Circle with Manxs Americanxs at Chashama here: https://incirclewithmanxsamericanxs.cargo.site/
