The Cultural Section of the United States Embassy is sponsoring an exhibition of photographs called “Personal Travels”, by US artists Avana Vellissia Jackson and Marco Villalobos, at the Museo del Hombre Dominicano. The exhibit is part of the commemoration of the museum’s foundation on 12 October 1973 and the meeting between cultures that took place in America after 1492. It celebrates the diversity of afro-hispanic culture in the United States, recognizing its important contribution to, and influence on, US culture. “Personal Travels” offers a glimpse that goes beyond music, dance, gastronomy, and sports, presenting political activism as an important cultural contribution of afro-hispanics to US culture. The exhibit is based on interviews with people of Mexican, Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Peruvian, and Puerto Rican origin.<\/p>\n
