Entre Flores y Palmas / Between Flowers and Palms
October 30, 2026 - February 27, 2027
Opening reception - October 30, 2026 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
The exhibit “Flores y Palmas” (Flowers and Palms) presents a selection of works that feature photographs, traditional garments, and items related to the crafting of the palmas (ceremonial palm arrangements). The images feature the Cofradías de las Flores y Palmas (the Confraternity of Flowers and Palms) as a form of living heritage – one that is sustained, transmitted, and recreated by the community while highlighting the traditions, identify, and rituals of the town of Panchimalco in El Salvador. This exhibition forms part of the efforts of El Salvador to share their living heritage internationally and offers an opportunity to engage with this tradition by exploring both its creative processes and the people who make it possible.
This exhibit is presented in collaboration with El Salvador Consulate in Omaha, and with support
from Douglas County, Nebraska Arts Council, and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
