Nepantla is a Nahuatl word which means “in the middle of it” or “middle”.  In the arts it encompasses historical, emotional and spiritual aspects of life.  Nepantla might also refer to living in the borderlands or being at literal or metaphorical crossroads.  In Latinx anthropology, social commentary, criticism, literature and art, Nepantla represents the concept of “in-between-ness”.
