Have you seen this installation piece at the MACC made by local artist Adrian Esparza?
“El Puente” is a site specific commission created in reference to a vintage postcard depicting the U.S. / Mexico border. Through the technique of unraveling, the artist turns a traditional Mexican serape into a tactile testimony of identity. Esparza cohesively weaves the threads back together creating a personal narrative of his cultural upbringing of being Mexican-American. Though to the eye one would consider this to be a textile piece, the artist considers this to be a gesture of painting, creating an unorthodox expression of medium.
¡Gracias por acompañarnos este fin de semana pasado en nuestro evento de Cinco de Mayo, y gracias a @mygecu por su apoyo, al igual que nuestros colaboradores por traer su talento y alegría al MACC! Que chula es Puebla!

El baile del danzón se originó en Matanzas, Cuba y llegó a México en 1880. Es acervo de nuestra cultura y ha sido estudiado por antropólogos sociales, investigado por músicos y bailado preferentemente por adultos mayores en plazas y zócalos del centro y sur del país.
¡Disfruta y aprende de la cultura del danzón con la maestra Elizabeth Flores!

There are still seats available for our Talavera Inspired Hand-Embroidered Heart Workshop with Lizbeth from @cushicushi915 !
Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. Puebla is a major city in central Mexico, located about 80 miles (130 km) southeast of Mexico City and is also a prominent Mexican center of pottery production that employs the technique of tin-enameled earthenware, known in Europe as maiolica. This technique produces a hard opaque white glaze, which serves as a background for colorful, enamel-painted designs. The name Talavera alludes to the city of Talavera de la Reina, the major producer of colorful maiolica in Spain from the sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century.
Class options:
Friday, May 8 from 1 - 5 PM
Saturday, May 16 from 11 AM - 3 PM

A little creativity can go a long way in brightening a child’s day. 🌸 Thank you to the El Paso Mexican American Cultural Center for visiting El Paso Children’s Hospital through our Healing Arts Program and bringing such a fun spring-themed activity for our patients! From colorful paper flowers turned into bracelets, pens, and decorations, our kiddos had such a wonderful time creating, smiling, and celebrating the season together. Thank you for bringing special moments to our hospital halls! 💐
