Four years after losing the presidency, Donald Trump won it back in Tuesday’s election
The Republican nominee, who served from 2017-2021, defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to complete a historic political comeback
He is just the second president in history to win a nonconsecutive term
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump said at an election-night event in West Palm Beach
“This will truly be the golden age of America.”
Trump’s victory comes in the same year that he was convicted of a felony and escaped two attempts on his life. In July, Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butler
Harris, the nation’s first female vice president, was hoping to shatter a nearly 250-year-old glass ceiling to become the nation’s first female president. She became the Democratic Party’s nominee this summer, not long after Joe Biden’s unprecedented exit from the race
“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” she said in her concession speech Wednesday
“But hear me when I say: The light of America’s promise will always burn bright.”

Filogonio Naxín may have found a way to make the old myths relevant to the modern world
Born Filogonio Velasco Casimiro in 1986 in the village of Mazatlán Villa de Flores in the Sierra Mazateca of Oaxaca
Naxín grew up listening to the stories of his elders
One very important concept for his Mazatec community is the nagual
a being that crosses the line between human and animal
Naxín’s nagual or spirit animal is the horse
Naxín’s world was completely in Mazatec until at age 11 he started school
Initially unable to understand his teachers
he would pretend to be paying attention by drawing in his notebooks
As an adult Naxín tried his hand at such jobs as cashiering and working as a butcher
and he even took the test to become a police officer (he did not pass)
Fortunately he decided to study fine art at the Benito Juárez Autonomous University of Oaxaca (UABJO) despite meager economic resources
cardboard and even animal blood were incorporated into his class projects
He graduated in 2005 but says that his time with the university served to confirm much of what he learned by trial-and-error drawing as a child
collages and graphic works have no preliminary sketches
If the images are lopsided or otherwise twisted
But Naxín’s time outside of his village has served to help him bridge the gap between the Mazatec world of his childhood and modern life
his naguals and other images serve to comment on modern life rather than being a frozen artifact of the past
utilizing different media for different purposes and different audiences
It can be classified by media and message but there are two constants running through it: the preservation and promotion of Mazatec culture (and by extension all of Mexico’s indigenous cultures) and commentary on the issues of modern Mexico
Naxín’s focus on tradition and identity is clearest in his work for children
people and naguals appear but in a way that is attractive and minimally challenging to the onlooker
His art dealing with political and social issues for adults is much grittier
The style is modern and would not be out of place in a street mural or comic book
Because the use of animals is not limited to Mesoamerican cultures
the mixing of them with human imagery has a global appeal
Other images that pull outsiders in include oversized hands
surrealistic elongated bodies and the artist himself (almost always appearing as a horse)
Naxín believes the use of the Mazatec language in his works and exhibitions is important though it may carry different meanings for Mazatec and non-Mazatec speakers
A speaker of Mazatec will get a very different sense knowing the exact meaning of the words but for non-speakers they add an other-worldly element
they serve as a reminder that indigenous languages are still very much alive
his career began to take off after he moved to Mexico City in 2013
with his first major show there in 2014 at the Autonomous University of Mexico City
Since then he has had major shows at the National Autonomous University (UNAM)
His success in the capital enabled him to stage individual shows back in his native Oaxaca
This is important as his work does not fit in with the prevailing Oaxaca school
Living in Mexico City gives him opportunities to work in illustration
both with his own projects on Mazatec culture and work by other writers
In 2018 he illustrated Cicatriz que te mira by poet Hubert Martínez Calleja
which was presented at the Palacio de Bellas Artes
with features in such Spanish-language publications as La Jornada Ojarasco (2018)
Mexicanísmo and even Playboy México (2020)
Living in the capital does not mean leaving Oaxaca behind
Naxín returns regularly to teach children in his hometown
something he called “an act of resistance,” as indigenous communities have no access to artistic training
He believes this knowledge is important to his community as it grants the culture a voice
Filogonia Naxín’s work is on exhibit at FES Acatlán (UNAM) in Naucalpan
