Lina Schuetze alias Menigma
Lina was born in 1985 in Germany. She has been interested in art from an early age and developed her skills due to graffiti experience, traditional painting and sculpturing, T-shirt and graphic design. Now, she lives in Guadalajara, Mexico and is focusing on arts by realizing videos such as fiction, animation and documentary. She works as vj together with the visualma collective.
" Well, I just realized that the most important thing is to enjoy who you are, where you are and what you are doing. Do every time your best and then it comes along that you feel happy.
Because what is more important than being happy and profiting of every single moment you have?
Would it be always that easy.."

Vj menigma, playing visuals, live at different events and parties or in post-produccion for videoclips.
"Total freedom, nobody tells you what you have to do, just follow your instincts and mix the images that belong together, creating the composition, the colors, movement and the message: Don't forget that there's nature so don't loose yourself in the cement jungle! Meanwhile, let's just have a nice party."
Menigma is an active member in the visualma collective since 2009.

Menigma T-shirts
Our cool outdoor and climbing design t-shirts are made 100% of cotton and in Mexico. Most of the t-shirts were sold during the Toca la Roca Festival in Mexico and Europe and had a big succes within the climbing people.
The idea was to establish a new brand that represents nature beings. Wearing these t-shirts means that you respect the nature and at the same time you show it in your routinary life living in a concrete city to people that maybe forgot that there are some other places where to play your dreams.
If you want to know more about the t-shirts,
please contact me.

of a generous nature.
If you continually give,
you will continually have.
Your heart will always make
itself known through your words.
Love is like wildflowers...it is often found in the most unlikely places.
You can always find happiness at work on Friday.
You find beauty in ordinary things, do not lose this ability.

The first step to better times is to imagine them.
Decide what you want and go for it.
