The Escalante neighborhood is now hosting a new art exhibition, 'Luz, aguja y pincel' (Light, Needle, and Brush), which delves into profound themes of memory, time, and stillness. The exhibition showcases the collaborative work of artists Rocío Ajún and Luisa Valerín, offering a unique visual dialogue between painting and textile art.

Located at the Casa de la Cultura José Figueres Ferrer in San José, the exhibition provides a space for contemplation and artistic exploration. Ajún and Valerín's pieces are designed to engage viewers with concepts that transcend the immediate, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the persistence of memory through artistic expression.

The exhibition is presented as an opportunity for the public to experience a curated selection of works that highlight the artists' distinct yet complementary approaches. The venue itself, a cultural hub in barrio Escalante, further enhances the experience, positioning the exhibition within a vibrant artistic community.
