Devyn Galindo (they/them) is a two spirit, transmasculine, Mēxihkah mixta artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles on Tongva lands. Their transdisciplinary practice includes filmmaking, photography, installation and sculpture, addressing themes of pre-colonial gender systems and the reclamation of ancestral knowledge across the Latine diaspora. Merging documentary, conceptual, and experimental styles, their work explores identity, challenges patriarchy, and navigates the physical and spiritual realms of gender expansion through indigenous Mēxihkah spirituality. They focus on stories that are often untold, amplifying voices from historically underrepresented subcultures such as the queer and trans people of color, Latine, two-spirit, and Mēxihkah communities. Galindo encourages us to embrace our own complexities while recognizing our interconnectedness in the struggle for collective liberation.

I still remember when I saw my first Devyn Galindo photo. I was on my laptop and came across an article about We Are Still Here, Devyn’s stunning photobook featuring L.A. Chicanx youth. I was so blown away that I emailed them to say how much I loved their work. I never do that with artists I don’t know.

Devyn’s photos stick out to me stylistically, but also because of the subjects she chooses to photograph—queer and trans people, the Latinx community, people of color, and now queers communing with nature and travel in her newest zine, The Van Dykes Project.

It hasn’t always been safe for queer people and people of color to take on nature and the open road in the way that we see our favorite characters do in films and novels. Devyn’s work challenges that notion with The Van Dykes Project—she goes deep into nature, into northern California, into Texas (in The Van Dykes Project Vol. 1), to commune with and interview queer people in places outside of the metropolitan cities of New York and Los Angeles.

Devyn Galindo's experimental documentary is an afternoon and evening with Samp, Gian and Moose, three transmasc New York City natives

This three minute and twenty second film is simply not long enough. I mean that in both a good way and a bad way. It's bad because there isn't enough here for the film to amount to much. We get two moments in in time- in a bed room and on a roof top. It's such a short time that if we blink things are over and we don't have any sense of much of anything.

Watching the film blind (I do not really look at how long shorts are nor do I read anything about them until after they are done) I thought I was sent the films trailer.

The problem is that if you just see the film with out explanation it just hangs there-and then it ends.

On the other hand there is enough here that director Galindo wanted to expand this into either a longer short or a feature this would go a long way to proving the film will work. I for one want to see more with Samp Gian and Moose. We see and hear enough that we can tell there more to hear and see. I would lo
