Casa Coyo is a new cultural arts organization established to produce artistic exhibits and events that celebrate diversity while working to create a more just environment around issues of race, class, gender and sexuality.

This year Casa Coyo will be producing its first Queering Mictlan  (™ pending), a Day of the Dead/Dia De los Muertos celebration showcasing queer artists. Alma Lopez, Rigo Maldonado, Maritza Alvarez, Brenda Xavez, Lizette Sanchez and Francisco Dueñas are among the artists in the group showing.

Through various media, the artists evoke our ancestors who live in Mictlan, the Aztec/Mexica underworld of the dead, to guide and nurture us, bringing us strength, courage and wisdom. Through installations evoking the four directions, the artists honor nature as sacred in an expression of gratitute to Coatlicue, our mother earth / nuestra madre tierra, by honoring life, death and ultimately rebirth.
