Premio Maguey celebrates the best of LGBTQ cinema in the world, and does so in a symbolic manner through its EMME pieces, unique hand-made creations that represent the duality in the human being, unique idiosyncrasy reflected in pieces that are a symbol of individuality and unity, which together illuminate, inspire and exalt the trajectory of personalities that have stood out by shining in a world in need of love and wisdom.

 

Pieces created by artist Adrián Guerrero, which in this ninth edition are intervened by talented jewelers Alejandro Rodríguez, Hafid Santos Kuri and Úrsula Hernández, who leave a mark and share a piece of what makes them exceptional and indelible. 

 

Light that emanates through each of their parts; that illuminates the path towards a world where ecstasy is reached when all its voices sing in unison, a chorus of passion, tenderness and devotion, equality and reconciliation. 



ADRIÁN GUERRERO

 

Adrián Guerreo lives and works in Guadalajara. His work denotes a constant search to analyze the human perception, supported on the field of philosophy from different levels, generating new views and resignifying what at first sight is common to us. Without leaving aside his passion for different ceramic techniques, he creates pieces, objects and installations with different materials and pillars such as photography, video, drawing, sculpture and painting. 



ALEJANDRO RODRÍGUEZ

Joyería Autor Metamorfeame

 

Alejandro Rodríguez was born in Guadalajara. Jeweler by conviction, but graphic designer by profession; fate has led him to do work that has to do with design, which he sees as a form of expression where there are no limits, and any type of object can be transformed into art. His goal while designing is to make things that most people like even though sometimes its misunderstood or criticized. He normally does jewelry in gold or silver, but also likes to incorporate other materials that have nothing to do with jewelry such as beer cans, wood, concrete, among others.
