Familias mexicanas no convencionales (1997 - 2007) is a poignant photographic series by Óscar Sánchez Gómez that delves into the intimate living spaces of gay, lesbian, and transgender families in Mexico City. The title of the series honors the homonymous poem by Mexico’s Villahermosa town Carlos Pellicer (1897-1977). Through his lens, Sánchez Gómez invites viewers to witness the private moments of families who have redefined themselves, crafting their identities through a tapestry of affective relationships formed in daily life. In these images, the bonds that unite individuals are not rooted in blood ties or reproductive sexuality but in the shared pursuit of happiness, love, and commitment.
