 ADORNÓ: Celebrating the Intricate Details of Traditional Mexican Regalia
Curated by Pedro Perez II and Dominique Avila Fleming
October 19 – November 11, 2023
Reception: October 19, 6 – 8 pm
Ballet Folklórico is a vibrant expression of Mexico's age-old folk-dance traditions that artfully interweave indigenous and post-colonial cultures. Across Mexico's thirty-one states and its capital, Ciudad de México, an array of dance styles and customary attire flourish, each tied to a regional identity. Even within each state, different regions exhibit distinct variations to the original ensemble.
Embedded within the essence of Mexican identity, Folklórico is greatly intertwined with visual representations, and details of the dances are expressive of the culture. The wardrobe adorning the dancers seamlessly harmonizes with the choreography, footwork, and stories, eloquently conveying the depth and richness of Mexico's cultural legacy. While rooted in tradition, the realm of Folklórico frequently witnesses stylistic differences among dance groups.
Curated by Pedro Perez II and Dominique Avila Fleming, ADORNÓ highlights the elaborate details that decorate traditional Mexican regalia. Featured in the exhibition are the exquisite garments and accessories of Alegre Ballet Folklórico, an Oak Cliff dance troupe founded by Pedro Perez that has been upholding the art of Ballet Folklórico and serving the community since 1993.
