MECA at TBH Center | 333 S. Jensen Dr, Houston, TX Criatura - a solo show by Ibraim Nascimento. This is a series of paintings inspired by the duality of Afro Latinidad observed in popular and religious manifestations, which in various ways unfold in a new manifesto, different from their original forms brought from Europe and Africa. A series of creatures are born there that will tell this new story, crossing elements of Catholicism and religions of African matrices through allegorical, mystical, sacred and profane aspects.
