The author spoke, as well as artists and others who recognize the significance of her work. This was very emotional. We returned with an important message —
See the exhibit, “Images of Julia de Burgos” – at the Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture (MPRAC). Artist Raul Maldonado calls his work of art, “Transcendent Julia” — because she continues to live through her poems.” Also, see the play, “Julia de Burgos: Child of Water,” which runs Nov 4 – Dec. 14. This will be the first play running at the beautiful NMPRAC, surrounded by the amazing exhibit. Artist Maria Borrero, who curated the exhibit,” asked the audience to, “Tell others – Spread the Word”. Don’t miss it!
