BRING ¡MEXTASY! — A TRAVELING CIRCUS OF DESMADRE, DESIRE & DECONSTRUCTION
⚡️ 2025–2026 Tour | Booking Now
Tired of beige art shows where nothing bleeds, sweats, or argues back? ¡Mextasy! is your antidote — a border-born carnival of images and ideas that refuses to behave. Curated and conjured by William “Memo” Nericcio — author of Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the “Mexican” in America — ¡Mextasy! turns the museum wall into a bilingual hallucination. It’s a mash-up of racist Americana, pop-art remix, and Chicano/x visual thunder — part seminar, part stand-up, part séance.
Born in Laredo, raised on Mad magazine, Derrida, and Mexican TV static, Nericcio drags the archive out of the ivory tower and into your gallery, library, or dive bar.

What You Get (Besides Goosebumps)
