Bio
BIO: Truthbytwo is the creation of the multiracial, multiethnic reconnecting Indigenous artist Mx. Maya García. Maya was raised with knowledge of being of Nahua descent, through their direct matrilineal line, but they are also of Hñañú (Otomí), Triqui and, O’odham (Pima) descent.
They also have European, African (Congo, Cameroon, Senegal, North Africa), Jewish (Sephardi) and SWANA (Syria, Lebanon) ancestors.
Maya was however born and raised as a person of Chicano and Indigenous descent, through their mother’s family, and their cultures are a crucial influence on their creative work. They/she are a 2Spirit, demisexual, non-binary (agenderflux/demifemme) multidisciplinary artist. Storytelling is at the heart of everything they do, and “Indigenish” is the story of their growing up with one foot on two sides of the imaginary border, in two different cultures and with each hand in between the world of active imagination and the lived intersections of reality.
Those intersections include racism, misogyny, ableism, aphobia, fatphobia, trans/enbyphobia and intergenerational trauma. They are a disabled survivor of multiple traumas, and an advocate for several causes, including prevention and healing of childhood abuse, ending trafficking and MMIWG2S, disability and Indigenous rights, and 2SLGBTQIA rights.
