Candi X is a performance and video artist, facilitator, producer, and director. They are originally from Portland, OR and are currently based in Mexico City. Their brightly queer and colorful creations, which are rooted in deep research, explore the eco-erotic relationship between the human and natural world. All of their works are equal parts accessible, embodied, intellectual, and silly – redefining the erotic by igniting the sensorial imagination. Through playful, body-based experiences, performances, films, and practices, they facilitate fun, connection, and curiosity that opens audiences up to new perspectives.

 

Their philosophy explores eroticism as the desire for more aliveness, not only for oneself, but for all life – the erotic as a driving force to both imagine and action new forms of creation and collaboration. Through their diverse works, they awaken the memory of being alive in our bodies so we may listen more deeply to ourselves, those around us, and the surrounding nature which inspires us to better care for one another and co-create an abundant future and a new regenerative reality.

​

Candi X has worked and performed internationally in Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the US, and throughout Mexico.

They are currently touring their shows and teaching their workshops throughout North America, and will be on tour in Europe for the summer season.
