Discover the Foam X Hydra Exhibition: Exploring Mexican Identity Through Photography

Foam X Hydra showcases the work of two emerging Mexican photographers, Nelson Morales and Diego Moreno, exploring complex notions of identity through personal and cultural lenses. This collaboration highlights young talent from Mexico City's photography platform, Hydra.

Foam X Hydra is a collaborative presentation by Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam and Hydra, a young photography platform based in Mexico City. This exhibition features the work of two emerging talents in Mexican photography: Nelson Morales (born 1982) and Diego Moreno (born 1992). Both artists delve into complex themes of identity, shaped by Mexico's rich and varied history, which blends indigenous customs with foreign influences and diverse religious beliefs. Diego Moreno's work, 'Guardians of Memory,' uses staged scenes inspired by the traditional 'panzudos mercedarios' costume to explore family history and the concept of sin, fusing Catholic and pre-Hispanic traditions. Nelson Morales's 'Muxe' series challenges perceptions of beauty and sexuality by documenting the Muxe community in the Tehuantepec Isthmus, a third gender recognized in Zapotec culture. His work is provocative and erotic, reflecting on his own journey of self-discovery and the intersection of indigenous identity, sexuality, and globalizing society.
