Martine Gutierrez

Martine Gutierrez's Neo-Indeo, from her Indigenous Woman magazine, presents a self-portrait that challenges conventional notions of beauty. Styled to look like a fashion editorial, Gutierrez disrupts Eurocentric standards by featuring a trans woman in a cultural space traditionally occupied by cis white women dressed in traditional Mayan attire. Through the glossy magazine format, Gutierrez confronts deeply ingrained biases, such as sexism, racism, and transphobia, exposing their presence within our culture.
