Silver City Dias de los Muertos
Wednesday, November 02, 2016, 06:30pm - 09:00pm |
6:30 PM, WNMU Parotti Hall. There will be a lecture by famed artist Catalina Delgado Trunk and following the lecture, at 7:30, an opening reception for Catalina Delgado Trunk at the McCray Gallery. This is also the location of a community ofrenda. Growing up in Mexico, Catalina Delgado-Trunk developed a lifelong love of Mesoamerican cultural traditions, especially that of papel picado (cut paper). For two decades now, the artist has made large-scale cut-paper works that blend pre-Columbian stories and images with subjects from the contemporary world. In her work, the artist celebrates the rich traditions by condensing the complex stories of legend into readable images, bridging the divides that separate cultures. Catalina is the recipient of the 2015 Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts.
