Retablo workshop with Peruvian artist Claudio Jim?nez Quispe on October 26. On October 27, enjoy exhibit, sale of retablos by Quispe, with photographs of Ayacucho on display, poems by Monique Pineda. Retablos originated as altarpieces in eighteenth-century Catholic churches, but are no longer purely religious and have become a distinctly Peruvian art form. Retablos incorporate several artistic elements, and are typically formed by a painted and carved wooden backdrop with panels hinged and folded as in a triptych. Individual statuettes adorn the foreground in a scene that tells a story. Each retablo can take between two and four weeks to complete. Peruvian food and drinks provided.
