Sample Caribbean and Latin American culture close to home

For some Chinese, Latin America and the Caribbean are regions that they may seldom get a chance to visit. So, the ongoing Latin American and Caribbean Art Festival in Beijing offers them a good opportunity to learn about the regions.

The festival at the China Millennium Monument in Beijing comprises three parts: the magic and reality of contemporary art, the inheritance and development of culture and the sharing the beauty that includes works from both China, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Artists from 16 countries including Argentina, Grenada, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Costa Rica display about 280 paintings, sculptures, installations, videos and photos at the show.
