MEXA was formed in 2015 following episodes of gender-based violence in homeless shelters in São Paulo. The group has lost members along the way; some current members think they too might soon be gone.
The Last Supper is a feast of melancholy and joy. Life and art merge; theatre and the street meet; autobiography intertwines with religious references.
Queering Western art historical perspectives, MEXA create their own Last Supper, with a party atmosphere and a powerful sense of solidarity.
