Alebrijes y Carnaval

Latino Collection & Resource Center Alebrijes y Carnaval is a visual arts exhibition that imagines a cultural encounter between Mexican and Panamanian ancestral traditions. The works ask a central question: If our ancestral cultures arrived together at Carnaval today, what message would they leave behind? Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity. Branch Location: Central Library.
