What is Latinx?
Latinx refers to anyone in the United States who is part of the Latin American and Caribbean cultures and diaspora, regardless of place of birth or immigration/citizenship status. This term embraces the diversity of races, genders, sexes, languages, histories, colonialism, and indigeneity that make up the Latinx experience.
What is Latinx for LxNY?
While we acknowledge the many representations of Latina/e/o/x, LxNY deploys the Latinx marker to contextually name the lived intersections of Latin American and Caribbean cultures in conversation and collaboration with the cultural fabric of New York City and the communities we serve.
