Atihuibancex:
Taino documentation research and development projects on
Caribbean Indigenous Cultural Arts since 1990
This website works to strengthen Taino Indian arts and crafts
collaborative workshop projects to promote and preserve our Caribbean
indigenous cultural arts via supplementary and alternative Native
American educational arts programs.
The work accomplished throughout the years has been consistent
with our taino mission statement, which is to promote education
of our Caribbean community and its rich indigenous cultural arts
heritage.
Atihuibancex
artistic presentations, exhibitions and workshops have generated
interest and involvement from the Caribbeasn community and other
Latino indigenous circles. Our taino program has served to inspire
future cultural artists in developing their talents by drawing upon
their cultural traditions. |
From the very young to the older adults, both females
and males share in our positive creative artistic environment that
will educate as well as enrich their lives. Our work has been well
received throughout the NYC Metropolitan Tri State area bringing programming
to well over 10,000 people. |
|
Our Taino projects serves the Caribbean indigenous
community as well as other indigenous communities. To date, we have
brought our programs to many places: elementary schools and universities,
public and private institutions, parks and recreational facilities
and public and private self help organizations. We service the old
along with the young. The majority of our constituents come from low
income neighborhoods and communities that receive very little contact
with the artistic cultural educational circles. We introduce these
elements that have otherwise seperated from each other to become whole
once again. The response from these participants has been overwhelming,
with an increased demand for our services. |
