IN THE LOBBY

During the run of Columbia Heights Bolero Bar, enjoy the exhibit The Divine Orishas by Cuban artist Reina María Valdés in the GALA lobby. The artist brings to life the iconography and mythology of Afro-Cuban culture with strength and vigor through colored paper and pastel crayons as mediums. The exhibition includes six Yoruba Orichas (spirits) framed in the unique flora and fauna of the island and its waters.

Valdes’ work evokes the rites celebrations and symbolism of the Regla d Ochá through vibrant images of Eleguá, guardian of the road; Babalú Ayé, healer of the sick; Yemayá, queen of the sea; Changó, fury of the heavens; Ochún, goddess of freshwater and gold; and Obatalá, eye and father of the universe.
