San Antonio’s Xicanx Month is a citywide celebration commemorating the Chicano Arts Movement and paying tribute to a cultural legacy that helped shape our community. The term Xicanx, pronounced, uses the ‘X’ from Spanish transcriptions of Nahuatl — a major Indigenous language of Mexico — at the beginning of the word, while the ‘x’ on the far end signals non-binary inclusivity.
