Celebrate Mother’s Day with Ballet Folklorico Mexicano de Nueva York
May 8, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Celebrate Mother’s Day with a performance by Ballet Folklorico Mexicano de Nueva York (BFMNY) in the HRM Amphitheater! “Frida Kahlo’s Oaxaca” features dances from the region of the artist’s maternal ancestry, in addition to traditional social dances of the people of Mexico City, the home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The dancers will invite audience members onstage for a workshop to learn and perform a simple dance.
BFMNY, known throughout diverse New York communities for its vibrant, joyful annual Guelaguetza Festival, is committed to sharing Mexican traditions and cultural heritage by showcasing regional dances that have shaped Mexico’s culture. This performance complements the selection of dance costumes on view in Frida Kahlo in Context, on loan from BFMNY, that represent regions of Oaxaca, including Tehuantepec, popularized in particular by Frida Kahlo in her celebration of indigenous Mexico.
Support provided by Art Bridges.
