The Dominican Embassy and Yubo Fernández Present Cigua Palmera in Madrid
The Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Spain and the creator Yubo Fernández inaugurate this Monday in the Spanish capital the exhibition Cigua Palmera: Cartography of Flight. The artist describes this initiative as a personal and geographical journey centered on the bird that symbolizes her nation. 🎨
An Artistic Experience Integrating Multiple Languages
The proposal organically combines painting, jazz music, and fashion design to create a unique narrative. The Cigua Palmera, a bird that only inhabits the island, serves as the starting point for this sensory map. Jazz defines the sound environment, and high fashion garments, conceived from the feathers and aerial movement of the animal, enrich the story being told. ✨
Key Elements of the Exhibition:- Painting that explores the form and color of the national bird.
- Original jazz compositions that set the ambiance of the space.
- High fashion wardrobe inspired by the plumage and flight dynamics.
The exhibition seeks to transcend the literal representation of the bird to explore its profound cultural meaning.
A National Symbol as a Cultural Bridge
The main objective is to go beyond the obvious image of the bird and delve into its identitary value. By establishing a link between the natural environment and artistic creation, the project aims for the public to connect with the essence of the Dominican Republic. This event is part of the diplomatic legation's work to promote its country's culture abroad through contemporary artistic expressions. 🇩🇴
Purposes of the Initiative:- Investigate the cultural meaning of a national symbol.
- Create a sensory bridge between nature and art.
- Promote Dominican identity in an international forum like Madrid.
Art and Diplomacy in a Joint Flight
This exhibition demonstrates how contemporary art can serve as a universal language to showcase the cultural richness of a nation. The collaboration between an official institution and an independent artist underscores the power of creative exchange. Sometimes, creation flies so high that even diplomacy needs to spread its wings to accompany it, even if it's a salon flight through the Spanish capital. 🕊️
