El Museo del Barrio is going to the Bronx Zoo! In partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society join us at the Bronx Zoo for their six-week long summer program Passport to the World. Every weekend, we’re highlighting the storytelling, food, music, and dance from a different country of Central and South America at Astor Court. For tickets and information, click here.

On Saturday, August 4th and Sunday, August 5th, ‘Passport to the World’ will feature PERU. Stop by and learn about the richness of Peru through storytelling and movement workshops then stick around for a final performance by the Abya Yala Arte y Cultura ensemble!

SCHEDULE:

Storytelling
The Fox, the Mole and the Moon | 11:00am – 12:00pm
From the Andean oral traditions, come hear the story about an image many of us see on the face of a full moon. This story telling will come to life through movement and colores!

Art Making
Incan Foil Sun | 11:00am – 3:30pm
Inti is the Incan Sun God. Inti is represented as a golden disk with rays and a human face. The Inca dedicated many ceremonies to the Sun in order to ensure their welfare. During the struggle for independence, the first flag that represented Peru was navy blue, and contained a golden sun representing Inti showing a connection to their Incan roots. Today we will make foil Inti’s.
