About our signature event:
¡Chévere! was created at the request of the community, to bring together Salvies and allies in one space, to meet other kindred souls and have the opportunity to network while celebrating Salvadorian culture. This event showcased influential Salvadorians, small businesses, vendors, visual artists, and performances.
Details:
For the first time in history, the event will feature an exhibition of over 12 Salvadorian visual artists. The theme for this year is Liberación: From Volcanoes to Hope; In honor of our grandparents, and madres & padres, for their journey in giving us a positive future.
For years, we’ve heard stories of ‘Land of the Volcanoes’ and its tropical weather, the summer days of playing canicas and capiruchos, to las buenas épocas to survival stories during and after the Civil War. Our theme this year, was inspired by those stories told by our grandmothers and parents, who left their home El Salvador in hopes for a better future.
LIBERACIÓN: FROM VOLCANOES TO HOPE was a call to all Salvadorian visual artists to bring to life, their stories of lgbtq, personal experiences, generational, sex, and gender on canvas, photo and mixed media. Here are some of the artworks that were on display.
