Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWA

Latinx Heritage Month Mocktails and Paint

Today during my lunch break, I had a chance to attend this Latinx Heritage Month event with one of my friends, Mayer, here at Baruch College. This event was quite interesting for the both of us since we made new friends and learned fascinating things. We were greeted by the kind organizers of the event for our sign in, and eventually invited to eat a few snacks. While eating we had a chance to listen to a guest speaker, Miguel Trelles, who spoke about certain people of Panama named the Kuna. He spoke about their tradition, mainly about their form of art called the Mola. This form of art originated from women painting wonderful designs on their bodies, and its popularity soon brought it to clothing! We even had a chance to paint a bit and make our own “Mola.” Overall, this event was fun to attend and I look forward to many more in the future.
