Fiesta Latina and Latino Arts & Culture series, highlighting music, theater, film dance and folk arts—will bring the richness of Latino arts and culture to our community.
- Reclaiming Our Grandmothers” by the artist Zamara Cuyún.Zamara Cuyún is a self-taught, Minneapolis born-and-raised, Guatemalan-American painter working with acrylics. She incorporates elements of Maya and European myth, ideology and iconography – sometimes to explore and create a vibrant, colorful, imaginary dream universe and, at other times, to represent the restless, violent and unsettling world we are often forced to inhabit. The visual stories presented in “Reclaiming Our Grandmothers” are the stories of our Indigenous grandmothers that are not often told in the colonialist narratives.
