Festival del Nazareno (Black Christ Festival) Artist Retreat
October 16th - October 23rd 2010

Taller Portobelo Norte is now accepting applications for the 2010 Artist Retreat in Portobelo, Panama.

The Feast day of the Cristo Negro of Portobelo, also known as the Black Christ Festival, is ideal for people interested in religion, Latin America and the African Diaspora, especially artists and photographers.

Participants won’t fail to be stimulated by the abundance of stunning visual imagery, overwhelming emotion and electrifying energy of the festival. More secular than sacred, the Festival boasts streets full of food vendors, shops, make-shift discoteques and pilgrims dancing, drinking, praying and partying for El Nazareno.

Artists will have the opportunity to commune with one another, work on small projects and participate in the annual religious festival that draws tens of thousands of pilgrims each year. Photographers will be attracted to the age-old rituals and traditions of the predominately black town; it’s ancient Spanish forts, slave cemetery, and retained slave and cimarron (called Congo) culture.

For more information, visit http://www.tallerportobelonorte.com/bcfestival.html.

Professional and Emerging Photographers, Visual and Literary Artists, and the General Public interested in Latin America and the African Diaspora are eligible to apply. Knowledge of Spanish is helpful but not mandatory.
