Borimix Art Fest Opening

It was a successful opening. Clemente Soto Cultural and Educational Center was visited by many people.

 The artists of these pieces showed their talent by creating the image of the heads in "papier machè". They also wore the costumes performing live walking dolls during the celebration. The scene is depicting the moment when Pérez the mouse is proposing Cucarachita Martina to marry him.

 Miguel Trelles showing my work to Jorge Rosario an old friend from Puerto Rico and Spanish Literature Professor at Long Island University.

Interesting sculpture of the Cucaracha Martina.

Veuve Cucaracha: A contemporary art hommage to Pura Belpre

Veuve Cucaracha is a contemporary art exhibition that honors the tremendous literary legacy of Pura Belpré (circa 1899-1982) through specific pieces dwelling on the timeless love story between Pérez the Mouse and Martina the Roach. Concurrently, Pura Belpré in Her Own Words, is an exhibition curated by the Center for Puerto Rican Studies based on its archival collections. It highlights Belpré's life and work as The New York Public Library's first Spanish speaking children's librarian. Other visual arts exhibitions featured in the festival include: Canto Boricua, a painting exhibition by Eli S. Alvarado at La Casa de la Herencia Culural Puertorriqueña, and Nueva York, an exhibition at El Museo del Barrio showcasing the myriad Latino contributions to a diverse and culturally vibrant New York.
