SUMMARY:Torito de Petate Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Torito de Petate Exhibition📍 Encompass Event Center – Raíces Festival \nThis year\, the Torito de Petate will be on display at the Encompass Event Center.

With origins tied to African heritage and popular legends\, the torito represents life\, death\, and abundance\, becoming a cultural expression that unites the community and honors our roots. \nWe invite you to take a closer look at this extraordinary work and recognize the talent and dedication of Alejandro Chihuaque Arias.
