The Noyes Second Flooring Artwork Gallery presents “AREÍTO: Allusions of Sacred Geometry and Diaspora,” an set up by Yanira Collado, by way of Might 18.
Areíto is an Arawak ceremonial apply involving lyrics and choreography that was believed to recount and pay tribute to the heroic deeds of Taíno ancestors, chiefs, gods and Cemis. This set up is an evaluation into the emergence and diaspora of the cultural practices, spirituality and folkloric traditions within the Caribbean. Collado, a Miami-based conceptual artist who lived and labored in Evanston, makes an attempt along with her work to assemble a visible language that brings collectively the questions of whose historical past is recorded, saved and retrieved and the way that course of happens.
