Venga a nuestro evento a reunirse con los artistas locales de Santa Fe, Yvette Serrano y Hernán Gómez Chávez. Exhibiran su obra de arte pública sobre Querencia. Querencia es una obra de arte, que se parece a una traila, una referencia a las casas en las que crecieron los artistas. La palabra se define como el lugar donde uno se crió, un lugar donde uno siente lazos de afecto y pertenencia – un sentido de hogar. Estarán exhibiendo obras creadas a través del proyecto, con la oportunidad de que personas puedan participar durante ese dia.

Nos sentimos honrados de tener al poeta laureado, arquitecto y profesor de NuevoMéxico, Levi Romero, quien inspiró esta obra, leyendo lecturas de poesía para este evento junto con otros dos poetas locales, Jessica Helen Lopez y Manuel Gonazáles. La artista y maestra Kemely Gomez, junto con Yvette Serrano, realizarán un taller de fabricación de papalotes.

Estaremos imprimiendo, dibujando y conversando con la gente sobre el hogar y la pertenencia.
