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.

Working with Divraj Dakoji

At Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop I met Divraj Dakoji, a printmaking master. It is interesting that last night Divraj came to my studio to see my portfolio of paintings. He was delighted on my concept of painting through the body movements. He wanted me to learn a new technique by using regular litho aluminum plate but making the traces with Xerox Toner. We were working at my studio creating three lithos then we did the process of setting the toner through heat at the printmaking workshop and this is what it came up.



The litho  plates measure 24" x 30". The next step is preparing the litho plates for printing. My experience working with Divraj was fantastic. Working with a master it is something not to forget.

My best photo inside Serra's Torqued Ellipse II. It was about two inches wide of iron.

Is all about movement of the body in time and space. The material used in his work is very important.
