The Peruvian exhibition Deep Roots (Raices Profundas) will open tomorrow at 18:00 hours (23:00 GMT) at Peru’s embassy in Washington DC.

It is a multidisciplinary exhibition influenced by the many pre-Columbian cultures, in the line that the indigenist community sets it out, Andina News Agency reports.

“The art, in any of its manifestations, constitutes a true testimonial language,"  said Dora Espinoza, the curator, who also said that taking care of the exhibition has been very rewarding, since it has let her go back to her roots.

The participant artists are: Milner Cajahuaringa, Víctor Delfín, Ricardo Wiesse, Pedro Caballero, Lucy Angulo, Consuelo Amat y León, Maritza Danos, Fernando Pomadaza, Claudio Juárez, Pilar Martínez, Mario Villalva, Pablo Seminario, and Eduardo Cochachín.

     I will go see the exihibit here but do not worry Hiram Bingham is dead and it is Yale University that kept the artifacts.  The Smithsonian will see that it that the exhibit is returned.  My Peruvian lady should like it as well.

No Daniel, DC has no shortage of fine pieces.  I believe the other poster mentioned the Smithsonian. 

Also, no need to fret about this precious exhibit going missing, it's being displayed at the Peruvian Embassy and therefore under the care and control of Peruvians.  Actually, on second thought, if it's under the care of Peruvians, yes you should worry about it!!   

Another thing, perhaps when the PE artists leave they can take some Peruvians along with them that have overstayed their tourist visas and are now living off the government, sending US welfare dollars to PE.  That would be a big help, thanks.

Of course, myself being a grand artist, David "Picaso" N, as I like to be called, I know what is art, and what is not art.

So before I get the usual attacks on my post, know this...

My tastes are perfect, my artistic abilities are beyond human ability, and my opinions are not to be argued against.

So take note when I make comments about issues to do with art exhibitions and learn!
