DEVYN GALINDO

HOT T-BOY PRESALE!!! GOD IN DRAG by Devyn Galindo Limited Edition 9.5 x 7.5 $35 God in Drag is a calendar and offering for my two-spirit and trans siblings, for our beauty and everything our community is facing right now. In times this chaotic, desire becomes our armor.  In this moment of escalating censorship, legislation, and violence against trans people, the project asserts the sacredness of trans bodies and lived experiences. Rejecting the Gregorian calendar, and guided by the moon, God in Drag follows a timeline entirely its own.  Proceeds from the calendar will support the development of a feature-length version of my recent short film Lost Bois. Link in bio to preorder. Featuring: Gabe Tha Babe, Tyra Sugar Baby Vasquez, Avery Vishal, Euro Trilll, Marley Mateo Fernandes, Prisk, Devyn Galindo and Elías.

Mark your cals and please join us! ✨ @norcocollege Devyn Galindo (b. Orange, CA) is a two-spirit Mēxika-Indigenous artist and filmmaker. Their work and photobooks focus on archives, photography, sound, and films of the Latine diaspora. Galindo’s multidisciplinary practice weaves their-specific research, personal narrative, sound, and archival imagery across photography, sculpture, film and installation. Galindo’s work has been featured in group exhibitions at LACMA, Getty: Pacific Standard Time LA/LA, Brown University, and the Aperture Foundation. Their honors include inclusion in Dazed’s 100 List: Art & Photography (2024), the Las Fotos Project Award presented by Getty Images, and selection on Printed Matter’s Activism Book List for We Are Still Here. Galindo is currently an MFA candidate at the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College and was named Milton and Sally Avery Scholar for 2025-26. “Smoking Mirror” is being presented as part of FotoSoCal - a constellation of exhibitions bringing together over twenty community college galleries across Southern California, featuring the work of Latine/x photographers and lens-based artists. “Smoking Mirror” is curated by FotoSoCal Curatorial Director & Professor Erika Hirugami alongside FotoSoCal Affiliate Curator & Norco College Art Gallery Director Michelle Ramin. @foto_socal @curatorlove @michelleramin Image: Devyn Galindo, Smoking Mirror, 44x55in., Archival Inkjet Print, 2024. @devyngalindo

Fantasmas (Devil’s Rope) 2024 The image, Fantasmas (Devil’s Rope), is part of a larger series entitled Smoking Mirror, examining the complexities of immigration, ghosts, memory and the history of barbed wire along the US/Mexico border, focusing on the Rio Grande. Each snag and shred of clothing left behind tells a silent story of struggle and survival, a poignant testament to the human cost of the border. A steel serpent, coiling across the land, barbed wire whispers a tale of displacement and colonial rule, its unsettling presence speaks of disrupted migrations, fractured ecosystems, and the violent imposition of boundaries. Dubbed “The Devil’s Rope” by Native Americans who witnessed its role in the great land theft of Turtle Island, it stands as a stark symbol of how property rights reshaped the world. $11 billion dollars and 100 miles of razor wire later, Operation Lone Star was initiated to “secure” the Texas border. Not only with Mexico but also with New Mexico. Given the current and ongoing battle we are facing as a community against I/C/E raids and the fasc*st regimes worldwide attempting to erase indigenous people, knowledge, land, seeds, grandmothers, femmes, and culture from this earth it feels important to share these reflections with urgency.

The Initiation (Iztaccuauhtli), 2024 8x10 Silver gelatin hybrid print —- Please join me for a heart to heart conversation with my elder Xico on the latest episode of the Two Spirit Warrior podcast. We speak about art, photography as ritual, the teachers that have shaped me, and how slowing down and deepening my practice through Mexica ceremony has guided my creative process.

@i_d asked me to give advice to a baby born in 2025. This is what flowed through.. warrior / spirit there is a reason you’re here I dreamt of your still waters earth seed tend to the plants, the soil, minerals tend to each other when you feel lost when you feel humble ask for an elder protect yo neck privacy attention what you consume wear sunscreen the planet will be hotter in the time of the sixth sun 🪶 Image: Earth Body (2024) Earth Body II (2024)

I’ve spent the past few years creating with my 2 Spirit siblings. 🪶 @comotheflor ..watching you move is otherworldly.

Smoking Mirror (D’Santi), 2024 Smoking Mirror, reflects on the hidden depths of the subconscious, a bridge between the waking world and the realm of dreams. This image of my two spirit elder and maestro, is my attempt at remembering this lucid state of being. Photography always keeps me chasing ghosts in this way. In slowing down my process I’ve found my way back to large format after many years away. Maestro, it’s been an honor to know you, observe you and to walk on this path in ceremony with you. I’m so grateful that when I asked the universe for more trans elders in my life, you were the one that arrived. Thank you for reminding me we have work to do here and we can enter the depths but we can’t stay hidden in the shadows. @navadsanti 🖤 Tlazocamati I’m excited to announce that I will be having a solo show for my new series Smoking Mirror, featuring this and several new works in March 2026. More details to come!

Your boy made the Dazed100 list for 2024. @dazed 🙏🏽 photo by my angel @transnormativity

Honored and humbled to debut a new body of work tonight at @circusofbooksla Friends, freaks, and art homies come show some love tonight for the opening. 🖤⛓️‍💥 SACRED PLEASURE Opening October 2nd, 2024 7-9PM Circus of Books Gallery 8230 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood CA —- Sacred Pleasure is a series where pleasure, power and spirit intertwine, where queer and trans bodies become vessels for exploring the vast landscape of desire. How do you find pleasure in your own body? What does desire mean to you? How have you navigated the complexities of shame and reclaimed your body as a queer person? How does this pleasure move through your body and heal your ancestral lineage? These are the questions that echo in the silence of this series, inviting us to explore the transformative potential of eroticism and embrace the sacred ways in which our bodies can lead us towards liberation and self-discovery. On view until October 31st. Thank you to @oneinstitutela #circaqueerhistoriesfestival 🖤 Thank you to @avionpearce for your support 🖤
