In 2016, Nahualli, comes out of it’s building to set off the first project of collaboration between Aura Meztli (fashion designer/artist) and Melva Medina (sculptress).

At the Museum of Merida’s City (Museo de la Ciudad de Mérida), Aura Meztli dictates the thematic guideline to carry out a multidisciplinary discourse.

Starting from a series of drawings, she approaches in an overwhelming and clear way, the theme of sexual abuse; a lamentable phenomenon that currently affects our society.

These drawings are taken up by sculptress Melva Medina, who interprets them merging esthetic criteria of art and fashion, managing to project the message in an important and profound way on each of her sculptures.

The event was crowned with a fashion show, with clothing designed by Aura Meztli. Where two stages were distinguished; the first one, presenting elegant coats and jackets symbolizing modesty, shame, and repression, evoking with their extremely long sleeves, the straitjackets of psychiatric hospitals. On the second stage, the outerwear disappears, revealing very beautiful dresses, which emphasize the sensuality of bodies in a very subtle way, playing with transparencies and minimalistic forms. Fashion was a tool to recover strength and dignity for women.
