E. Esperanza is a 2-Spirit (they/them) Mexican-American multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker of indigenous Zapotec, Mixtec, and mixed-European ancestry. Across mediums, Esperanza’s work articulates their journey in navigating the complexities of identity as a queer bi-cultural mixed-indigenous person and being a bridge person between worlds, culturally and spiritually. They currently live in Santa Fe, NM where they paint, model, sling vintage clothing, and play native flute music under the name TECUANI.
