research project 2019
I received a CVPA research grant from JMU to investigate subjects of interest to my major which is visual art. I decided to focus my research project on Flamenco.
For my research project, I am interested in how cultures share, borrow, transmit, and receive art, traditions, rituals, languages, and ideas from other cultures. As a Latino American myself I myself am a product of multiple cultures. Flamenco is a rich multicultural fusion of many unique cultures. The sounds, rituals, and stories that are told resonate with me. The poetic struggle and strong sense of togetherness are paralleled with the deep feelings I express in my abstract artworks rooted in my cultural identity. I love how the dance, music, and performers energy come together in a beautiful and powerful art form.
