Abya Yala: Indigenous Connections en Latinoamérica
November 6, 2024 - January 5, 2025
La Sala invites you to Abya Yala: Indigenous Connections en Latinoamérica, a celebration of visual and literary art featuring local Latiné/x artists of Indigenous descent.
Abya Yala brings the memory of displacement and the power of reclamation through art and storytelling, together in vivid visuals and ekphrastic experiences that dare us to dream beyond the limitations of Latinidad. Feel “the Land of Vital Blood” coursing through each artist’s veins and onto their canvas, pages and clay, and witness a world that grounds your senses into a history as expansive as the lands we call home.
Please join us as we weave art, memories and history together for a special exhibit that celebrates the vibrant tapestry de nuestra gente y culturas near and far.
Opening reception with the artists: Saturday, November 9, 5-7pm
Visual Art Workshop: Friday, November 15, 6pm
Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop: Saturday, December 7, 6-8pm
