During Pride celebrations, @XES, a repository dedicated to artists and creators who explore and express sexual and gender diversity and dissidence, is being launched. This publication, co-edited by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Ministry of Equality, is designed as a valuable working tool. Its aim is to assist embassies, cultural centers, Cervantes Institutes, and other cultural institutions in creating more inclusive and diverse cultural programming. @XES not only promotes the visibility of these talents but also fosters a cultural environment that celebrates and respects diversity in all its forms, thus contributing to a more equitable society enriched by the plurality of voices and perspectives.
