Art exhibition to celebrate Latin American culture on July 24
dubai — The AJALA Project, a Dubai-based art and social impact platform, is organising an exhibition ‘Venezuela Viva, Viva Venezuela’ to celebrate Venezuelans and Latin Americans residing in the UAE.
The exhibition will be held on July 24, the day Venezuelan political leader Simon Bolivar was born — a significant day for the Latin American community. Bolivar, also known as El Libertador, played a leading role in the establishment of Venezuela, Bolivia, Cololmbia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama as sovereign states. He served as the president of Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia during his lifetime. Bolivar is viewed as a national icon in much of modern South America.
The exhibition will showcase works of two Venezuelan artists —Ruben Molina and Arnaldo Gonzalez. The exhibition will be held at Hai D3, Dubai Design District, from 6-10pm. A collection of paintings by Ruben Molina will be exhibited along with the screening of the film ‘Impuls’ by Arnaldo Gonzalez.
Hassan Adebayo Bello, founder of The AJALA Project, said: “Ruben Molina reached out to us last year from Venezuela to join our platform after reading an article about one of our exhibitions. We are excited to showcase their artwork to avid lovers of Latin American culture in Dubai.”
The event will be accompanied with live performances by prolific Latin American artists based in the UAE. Guests of honour to the event includes officials from the consulates of Venezuela, Spain, Mexico.
