"Xican- a.o.x. Body" Reading Room List • Pérez Art Museum Miami

PAMM invites visitors to casually peruse these books in person in the Reading Room in the Kleh Gallery.

PAMM Education’s meticulously curated reading lists serve as a gateway to a deeper understanding of the exhibition, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich ideas and concepts presented in Xican–a.o.x. Body.

The Xican–a.o.x. Body exhibition reading lists presented here relate to the themes that foreground the body as a site of political agency and imagination, existing within an “in-betweenness” of identities, artistic investigation, decolonization, and alternative forms of community examined throughout.

These lists were compiled by PAMM Education and Curatorial staff.
