The starting point for this solidarity action will be the opening this Wednesday of the Alexandra Bravo-Arte Plumaria-Murallas exhibition at the Simon Rodriguez Cultural Center at the Venezuelan Embassy in La Paz.

“The material I use in these works is intertwined poultry feathers, with which I identify discriminated, persecuted, and deported migrants,” the artist stated in an interview with Prensa Latina.

Bravo told this news agency that each painting reflects braided, woven, and layered walls, created with textiles, metal, plants, and paper, materials that contrast with the delicacy of the feathers and magnify the harshness of the walls.

She expressed her concern about the imposition of physical walls and other barriers, such as the White House’s economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba, and underscored that, according to her research, there are more than 80 such barriers worldwide, which is why she chose feathers in the colors of the flags of each country where these dividing elements exist.

Regarding Latin America and the Caribbean, she emphasized the importance of maintaining it as a Zone of Peace, as the leaders of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), regardless of political and ideological diversity, approved in Havana in 2014.
