With the reopening of the permanent exhibition "El indígena de América", we created a collection of products inspired by the traits and art that characterize the native peoples of the Americas. This collection draws from the image of the indigenous face created by Puerto Rican artist Domingo García, which was generously donated to the Museum of the Americas before his passing. Additionally, symbols from the Taíno culture, found in the rock art of the indigenous tribes of Puerto Rico, have been incorporated into these products.
What is the significance of the indigenous face created by Domingo García?
The indigenous face created by Domingo García serves as a powerful symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the native peoples of the Americas. It captures the essence of their identity, history and traditions, making it a fitting inspiration for this collection of products.
How do the symbols from the Taíno culture contribute to the products?
The symbols from the Taíno culture add a layer of authenticity and connection to the indigenous roots of the Americas. By incorporating these symbols, these products serve as a tribute to the ancient traditions and beliefs of the indigenous tribes of Puerto Rico.
What can visitors expect from this collection of products?
Visitors can expect a range of products that reflect the beauty and diversity of the indigenous cultures of the Americas. From artwork to accessories, each item in the collection is a celebration of the rich heritage and artistic legacy of the native peoples, reminding us of their history, struggles and contributions to society.
