The Museum of the Americas is pleased to present the exhibition entitled: The Bomb I Know, by artist Enrique R. Cabrera Serrano.

Cabrera Serrano was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents. He began his art studies at the Ponce School of Visual Arts. As an adult, he moved to Boston, where he took a silkscreen printing workshop in Massachusetts. He then moved to Miami, Florida, where he studied entertainment technology, set design, and production design at the Miami Dade North Campus. While at the same university, he became the first Puerto Rican artist in residence at the Leeham Theatre.

Regarding the exhibition being presented today at the Museo de Las Américas, the artist tells us: “In this exhibition, I try to convey the charm, strength, and magic of our folk rhythms through canvas and mixed media. I remember the resonant rhythms of my childhood as a charming motivating force that reached my very bones, thanks to the stories told by my father and great-grandmother Doña Juana Venceslá, a bomba and danza dancer. My greatest inspiration for this work was based on her.”

She served as a model for her inspiration, the bomba and plena teacher Gilda Hernández.

On display until January 19, 2014.
