Silenced Voices of the Xi'úi

Project type

Digital and mixed media art

Date

May 2026

Location

Leander, Texas

2026

This project was completed in 2026 but started years ago, little by little, the story unfolded right in front of my eyes.

Soona Paints proudly presents *Silenced Voices of the Xi'úi*, a compelling gallery collection where each artwork, bearing a Nahuatl name, gives voice to the personal and collective experiences of forced assimilation, forging a profound connection to ancestral heritage. This project highlights the power of art to preserve identity and remembrance, inviting viewers to engage with stories that resonate across generations.
