¡Ay Corazon! Art about love & longing rooted in Latin American traditions
Chilean-Canadian artist Daniela Smith-Fernandez is presenting her newest work at a semi-private event at Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain. These pieces explore the place that the desire for romantic love plays in the heart and imagination. Firmly rooted in Latin American artistic traditions, she plays with a range of textiles and sculptures to create a place where it is safe to explore deep feelings of longing and desire.
The objective is to generate feedback about the work and try seeing how it works to present pieces in an atypical environment. The event is being held in a venue with theatrical lighting and a cash bar so as to accentuate the glittering elements and themes in the work. It will be brought to life with a trilingual soundtrack. At 7:00 and 9:00 the artist will give a short artist talk and take questions and feedback in English, Spanish or French. Otherwise, people are encouraged to come and go as they choose.
Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant display of creativity and passion.
