Nuestro Vaiv茅n (Our Sway)
This unique art exhibition pairs these Latin artists from all over the southern half of the state, including the east and west coasts, with Latin Sarasotans who are leaders in other fields: Diana Gonzalez, a Mexican radio personality; Dr. Manuel Gordillo, a Peruvian doctor; Gloria Noemy Lopez Herrera, a Nicaraguan organizer of immigrant entrepreneurs; and Ada Toledo, a Dominican salon owner. These leaders tell the artists about their communities鈥 ideas, concerns, joys, challenges, achievements, and dreams. Then the artists create installations, both as art for the public and as settings for their partner communities鈥 private celebrations at The Ringling. Additionally, Nuestro Vaiv茅n features an exhibition-within-the-exhibition of paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, textiles, collage, ceramics, and video art, to highlight a broad range of contemporary Latin art from abstraction to realism, from minimalism to maximalism, from somber to playful in tone. Themes include family, work, the circus, rodeos, UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), beauty, light, nature, divinity, memory, health, mythology, epistemology, as well as Indigeneity and African, Asian, and European diasporas in Latin America.
