Christian Maldonado is a Xican@ artist of Califas. Their art is inspired by ethnic groups across the Americas and exemplifies Pre-Columbian designs that have absorbed contemporary methods of production and material due to colonialism.
Christian works with Magical Realism to design Performance art. Their performances consist of fantastical ceremonies inspired by Pre-Columbian rituals where they freestyle dance to remixes of folk music by indigenous ethnic groups across the Americas while dressed in costumes inspired by traditional regalia. 


"Xican@ Series" 
Xican@ is a performance that unpacks the Intersectionality embodied by the artist. They identify as a Gender Fluid, Mestizo blood, male of the Mexican diaspora in Southern California. The performances explore meaning making through icons and gestures as markers of membership to ethnic groups and social identity vis-à-vis the performativity of social identification.
