Monterrubio in South America...I have been graciously invited to lecture and exhibit my work in the southern hemisphere, specifically Uruguay & Argentina. I have been awarded the honor of being the inaugural artist at the Casa de Moyo Art House Residency in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the invited special guest by the Ambassador of the US Embassy. I spoke on our distinct cultural identities and building bridges that connect Latinos across borders. I worked with an artist here for a week, I then traveled by boat to Buenos Aires and was given an art studio and now good friend to work where I worked on my current series La Fusión de Tres Culturas and AMOR series. To conclude the trip, I returned by boat back to Uruguay for a few lectures at two schools, and then the finale will exhibit with the U. S Embassy with an attendance of over 50 people. This trip has been spectacular, to say the least. I have been given this special life because of art. Being fluent in English & Spanish, I gave a lecture on my artwork and enjoyed sharing stories with people from both countries. I also shared stories of my beloved people from the San Joaquin Valley.
Namaste... Diego |
