Saturday I headed out to downtown Brownsville to check out the Art Cube Exhibit Lazos de mi Cuidad at Linear Park. Nine local artists painted the larger than life cubes as part of this year’s Charro celebrations and are now displayed outside the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art. It is nice to see an artist community in Brownsville and all these impressive works of art are colorful, represent the city well, and are definite conversation starters. Local artists Miriam Hernandez, Clarissa Martinez, Eduardo Del Angel, Sam Rawls, Monica Lugo, Josie Del Castillo, Alejandra Zertuche, Ruby Garza, and Jonathan Hernandez contributed to this art project that demonstrate Brownsville’s vibrant culture.
While there, I stopped by the Brownsville Farmers’ Market to see if anything caught my eye since I rarely actually purchase anything at these things. Not that they do not sell quality products, but I am so picky about what I buy even though I desperately want to support local vendors. To my surprise I noticed someone selling vegan pastries so of course I had to check it out. Kudos to Vegangela.tx for her tasty and cruelty free baked goods. That morning she had cupcakes and brownies so I went with a sampler of four cupcakes: the Chai Latte, Earl Grey, chocolate, and vanilla. Let me just say that the Chai Latte one was delicious; it is not a flavor you often see here in the Rio Grande Valley, so that is why I jumped at the opportunity. As a vegan, I am always looking to support local vegan businesses, since they are hard to come by and should be encouraged. I hear she sold out, that is awesome!
Stopping by downtown Brownsville on a Saturday morning was a definite pleasure. Next time I think I will take my time and check out the rest of the park and the surrounding businesses. I hear 7th and Park is right around the corner and is vegan friendly.

Mexican Jazz artist Tino Contreras will perform at Frida Kahlo’s home, the Casa Azul, the flagship museum dedicated to the iconic artist’s life and work. Courtesy photo, used with permission.
Legendary Mexican jazz artist Tino Contreras is set to perform a unique streamed show in the most beautiful space in Mexico City – Frida Kahlo’s home, the Casa Azul, which is also home to the flagship museum dedicated to the iconic artist’s life and work. The globally streamed event will be the first ever music stream from the Frida Kahlo Museum and is a celebration of both Contreras’ dynamic contribution to jazz and his 97th birthday. (Vesper Public Relations, 2021)
Inside the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House, are the artist’s personal belongings, as well as memories of the life that she lived there with Diego Rivera. Original paintings by Kahlo, Rivera, and their friends; a collection of Mexican folk art, handicrafts, pre-Columbian pieces, and Mexican regional textiles; as well as photographs, documents, books, and furniture are all showcased. The beautiful garden is an essential part of the Blue House, and crossing it leads to the internationally acclaimed exhibition of Frida Kahlo’s dresses. Many of the items in the museum were exhibited at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum in 2018, for ‘Frida Kahlo: Making Herself Up’, which was one of the most successful temporary exhibitions in the museum’s history.
Tino Contreras at Frida Kahlo Museum will show at the following times in the following territories on both days and for 24 hours on demand. The stream will not be available on demand after this initial weekend.
Saturday April 10 and Sunday April 11 8pm UK BST (ticket price £12) 9pm Europe CEST (ticket price €14) 7pm Mexico City HV (ticket price $17 USD) 8pm New York EDT (ticket price $17 USD) 8pm Los Angeles PDT (ticket price $17 USD)
Tickets available worldwide from Dice.fm. “The price you pay. No surprises later.”
During Covid 19 The Frida Kahlo Museum has lost all income from admissions, so there is an opportunity to donate to the museum when purchasing a ticket and during the stream.
Born in Chihuahua in 1924 to a family of musicians, Tino Contreras is a master Mexican jazz drummer who for more than six decades has melded Latin influences with free jazz, psychedelia, avant-garde experimentation, and global sounds from Egypt, India, Turkey, and elsewhere. Tino’s career started in the 1950s and has seen him share stages with many of the greats – including Dave Brubeck, Cannonball Adderley, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Turning 97 on 3 April 2021, Contreras continues to play, record, and receive recognition for his contribution to Mexican jazz and beyond. His latest album La Noche de los Dioses was released on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood record label in October 2020.

About the 2021 CAM Perennial Exhibition: Here, the rivers run both ways Curated by Doreen A. Ríos When thinking about territories it becomes clear that the first one we inhabit is our body. As we keep expanding the definition, we come to terms with the fact that most territories grow outside our skin, yet our need to visualize said territories is very much embedded in our collective imagination through its representation. Uncharted territories that become lines, traces, boundaries. Always in motion, always recreating their behaviors. Navigating real and imagined territories is an act of placing ourselves within a series of moving flows and everchanging landscapes. This exhibition expands on the notion of wandering, the intimate – yet collective – daydreaming and, of course, the cultural mythologies delineated by migration, gentrification, gender, and communication systems. Scripted in two chapters – territory as body and territory as land – this selection reveals a series of unstable and fragmentary cartographies where constant hybridization is key. The visitor becomes a traveler between physical and symbolic territories inside a city that behaves as a dynamic system in flux where art is released into the wild to activate other sensibilities outside the white cube.

Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage is on display at The DoSeum until Sunday, March 28. Photo: The DoSeum, used with permission.
The DoSeum is celebrating learning in all its forms by inviting students to participate in their current exhibition Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage by submitting works of art. The exhibition encourages our community to reflect on attitudes and assumptions about individuals who learn differently and inspire us to be a more inclusive and equitable society. Joyful learning is at the core of The DoSeum’s mission. Everyone learns differently, and there is amazing potential in every child to be the best learner they can be. (The DoSeum, 2021)
The popular exhibition, which opened last fall, is currently being updated. In addition to displaying works of art by students, a newly installed resource center features learning elements to inspire all minds to play, but especially for students diagnosed with dyslexia. These updates include 3D puzzles, building manipulatives, graphic novels, and gestalt images. The DoSeum’s education department has also planned art-themed pop-ups in the galleries through the run of the show, which closes March 28.
Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage is an art and science exhibition that explores the successes of those who think outside the box when faced with the challenges of dyslexia. The exhibition defines some of the tools and resources for identification, intervention, and pathways to success. Families learn about what dyslexia really is, and the truth behind some of the negative myths perpetuated in society. Guests have fun playing various spatial and word games learning how the right and left sides of the brain are engaged, including an oversized tile spelling game, color block puzzles, and digital interactive educational games for all ages. A unique local feature will be listening to stories from San Antonio youth and local world changers about their experiences growing up with dyslexia before and after intervention. Children and caretakers walk among the life-size illustrations of some of the most influential visionaries who have changed history.
During the exhibit run at The DoSeum, a unique portion of Beautiful Minds will feature Artist in Residence Sarah Sudhoff’s interactive installation The Reading Brain. The installation will allow families to be immersed in the reading brain’s inner workings through a multi-sensory, data-driven interactive installation.
The DoSeum has longer timed sessions for guests. As always, it has taken care to implement the best cleaning and sanitation practices and continues to implement new measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and continue prioritizing the health and safety of its staff and guests.
Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage is a Science Museum Oklahoma and Whiteboard Exhibits Project. The DoSeum thanks supporters of Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage
“Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage has already been enjoyed by over 16,000 visitors. During the final weeks of the exhibit, we have enhanced our galleries with new components and opportunities for families to interact and reflect in ways in which learning with Dyslexia offers a creative advantage. At The DoSeum, we are in the business of helping children achieve their full potential by providing opportunities for outside of the box learning, this exhibition and its recent new additions do just that.” – Meredith Doby, VP of Exhibits
