The Embassy of Costa Rica, under the gracious invitation of Ambassador Eliana Villalobos Cárdenas, invited us to a captivating solo print exhibition by Costa Rican artist Marcia Salas titled “Periferias Femeninas.” The exhibition, showcased a thought-provoking collection of artworks exploring themes such as “El deber ser” (The should be) of woman, “¿Quién quiero ser?” (Who do I want to be), and “¿Quién soy?” (Who I am).
Attendees were transported through the complexity and nuanced issues surrounding womanhood, with each artwork serving as a powerful reflection of the female experience. Against the backdrop of Women’s Month celebrations, the exhibition provided a poignant reminder of the indispensable roles women play as nurturers, preservers of tradition, and embodiments of invincible womanhood.
