Book Presentation / Meet the Author Presentación de Libro / Conozca al Autor

Come hear visual artist Ana de Orbegoso present the book Vírgenes Urbanas (Urban Virgins) a collaborative project with poet Odi Gonzáles, which combines photographic images and poems in English, Spanish, and Quechua, a native language of Peru. The book both pays tribute to and critiques the traditional images of virgins in Spanish colonial art, replacing the European faces in the original paintings with images of present-day women and children of Peru, replacing the ideal with the real, and linking past and present.

Saturday, June 3, 2017
2:30 – 5:00 pm
Centennial Hall, Main Library
5 Washington Street, Newark

The program will also include a traditional Peruvian dance presentation. Refreshments will be served.

Copies of Urban Virgins/Vírgenes Urbanas will be available for purchase.

For further information, please call 973-733-7772 or email ibetancourt@npl.org

La artista visual Ana de Orbegoso presenta su libro Vírgenes Urbanas, una colección de fotografías basadas en pinturas coloniales de la Virgen, revisadas y reinventadas para reflejar realidades e ideales contemporáneos. Esta obra, realizada en colaboración con el poeta cusqueño Odi Gonzáles, combina cada imagen con un poema en inglés, español y quechua. El libro rinde homenaje y critica las imágenes tradicionales de las vírgenes en el arte colonial español, reemplazando las caras europeas en las pinturas originales con imágenes de mujeres y niños actuales del Perú. Las “Virgenes Urbanas”, orgullosas, autosuficientes y festivas,  son figuras de carne y hueso que habitan un mundo que incorpora la iconografía y la grandeza de la antigua y moderna cultura peruana.

Sábado, 3 de junio, 2017
2:30 – 5:00 p. m.
