About Pico del Hierro-Villa, Creator of BorderPlex:
Pico del Hierro-Villa is a Trans Fronterizx who recently received their master's at the University of New Mexico in Chican@/x Studies. Being raised in El Paso, later moving to Albuquerque, NM, they found the beauty of storytelling among Queer elders and those who never had the opportunity to publicly present their stories. The mode of their art and research is based on gathering testimonios and photographing Queer and Trans Latinx folks which captures a multitude of LGBTQ+ experiences, a method they call fotografímonios. The purpose of their work is to not only honor the Q/T Latinx identity but to uplift Queer and Trans political struggles and provide post narratives that counter act against negative perceptions of the Queer and Trans lifestyle. Another focus of their work is Queering cultural iconographies as well as creative writing that presents self-testimonios as a form of healing, spiritual connection and familial remembrance. Pico’s work has been published at the University of New Mexico, Latinx academic journals, magazines and has been displayed in local and national galleries.
