Casa Filipka is an ongoing exhibition inspired by the heritage of the historic Casa Susanna, a gathering place for trans women and crossdressers in upstate New York during the 1950s and 60s, which served as a haven for free sexual expression. The exhibition was first hosted in a private villa in Mexico City’s Roma Norte. It featured 16 woman and non-binary artists, presented as a collection that explored the journey of gender perception and transformation among Eastern European and Mexican artists.
