Events for August 20, 2025

Cary Arts Center Principal’s Hall | 101 Dry Avenue July 9, 2024 - August 24, 2025 Medium: Ink on film “I am a remnant of the Nahuatlacah oral tradition a tonalpouhque mexica, a commoner from the lowlands (i.e. Mexico) from a time and place that no longer exists. At present my poetry has been reified as it has been published in the UK, US, India, Spain, Australia, Argentina, Germany and Venezuela. I have been exhibited in different venues with a work that’s titled: Transparencies in Time: Cuahpohualli embedded in ethnopoetic language poetry: I seek to expand on this work into a comprehensive exhibit in a gallery and/or installation in 3D public art sculptures (i.e. three simultaneous monumental works that expand into multiple levels of perception and/or dimensions). In this the sculptures came from dreams, it’s a refraction of our ancestors so you see a mirror in yourself.” https://mozaikphilanthropy.org/ecosystemx/
