Dovente

<div>In Lynn, we commemorated the epic return of Angurria and the dazzling energy of his Patria, his Dominican Republic homeland. Noted muralists from the DR, a cohort of street artists, and regional creatives with strong Dominican roots united on our REUNION wall in downtown Lynn to showcase Dominican culture. This collaborative fusion mural was fueled by the talents of artists Dovente, Silvia López Chavez and Willgom, all united by our esteemed Creative Director, Angurria himself.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The term “KLK” is an acronym for “Que lo que!,” a figure of speech used by Dominicans as a form of greeting or question. It&nbsp; translates to “What is there?” or “What what?” but the English equivalent is “What’s up?” This impressive mural serves as a greeting to Dominicans, sharing the warmth of the Caribbean people with Lynn’s Latin community. The mural celebrates Dominican culture, traditions, music, food, and games as depicted by the three generations represented in the piece.<br><br>https://beyondwalls.org/locations/280-union-st-2/&nbsp;<br><br></div>

<div>This is a portrait of my Grandma Eve holding some leaflets that were bought back from Thailand by my Grandpa David where he was held as a Prisoner of War in Nong Pladuk camp between 1943-45 during WW2. He had persuaded the POW commandant to release his group from work on the Thailand-Burma railway, later known as death railway, so they could create theatrical / musical performances on a hand built bamboo stage, in a bid to keep up spirits in the desperate and squalid camp conditions. The last picture shows one of the original leaflets depicting a caricature of my grandpa by Jan van Holthe. This little piece of salvaged history is a reminder of how even in the most horrific situation, creativity can provide a vital lifeline or a mode of survival.</div>
