Since 2015, a group of dedicated community members have been creating diverse opportunities for arts and culture in the small Maya town of Yaxkukul, Yucatan, Mexico. Today, our collective calls itself Centro Cultural Green Neek’ , which means green seed, symbolizing growth and new beginnings.
This project began as the vision of Guadalupe Verde and Gener Chan, local teachers with a passion for supporting creativity in their community. Over the past few years, we have created a community radio station, published a book about local oral histories, performed our own original plays, and more.
The mission of Centro Cultural Green Neek’ is to promote the arts and celebrate indigenous Yucatec Maya culture. In addition to creative workshops, we also offer courses in Maya language, culture, and literature.
After years of evolving and changing, we are excited to announce our new permanent location in Yaxkukul. We finally have a space to call our own! Our cultural center hosts our workshops, community events, a library, and more. Our goal is for our space to be a safe place for community members of all ages to come and learn, teach, or just hang out. We charge a small fee for our classes which keeps our programs sustainable and accessible.
Because we keep our fees low, we are in need of some additional support to improve our space. We are just getting started and there is a world of possibilities! Our immediate goal is to make our space more comfortable and inviting for our students, teachers, and all community members.
This is just the beginning to create a permanent home for art and culture in Yaxkukul! Our track record of working in the community since 2015 guarantees that your donation is in good hands. Our fundraising link can be found in my bio!

Happy 8M 💜 In 2017, I exhibited a collection of my protest photography featuring women’s movements from Guatemala, Mexico & the US. These are still some of my favorite memories of International Women’s Day. 💜
First two photos are feminist movements in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico (my home away from home).
3-5 are from my time spent with the incredible women of AFEDES in Guatemala,
6 is another women’s group in Guatemala City on 8M 2017.
7-8 are the day after the 2016 presidential election in New York City.
9-10 are the big Women’s March in Washington DC.
