## Caption

💎Thank you for listening and watching.

Diaspora means the movement of people, culture, and stories across places and generations — and that’s at the heart of what I create.

I’m Karina Puente, an artist creating contemporary Papel Picado, hand-dyed textiles, and drawings that carry both ancestral and mythical stories — including La Sirena and the sea.

This exhibition was curated by Monica O. Montgomery, founder of DiasporaDNA: Story Center, and first shown at the Community Art Center two years ago.

Here’s how we can work together:

Collectors: My original artworks and limited-edition pieces are available for purchase.

Community & Institutions: I create site-specific installations for public spaces, exhibitions, and events.

Workshops: I offer art-making workshops inspired by Papel Picado for groups, arboretums, and private events.

If this work speaks to you — if you’re curious, want to collaborate, or bring art into your community — visit:

www.karinapuentearts.com 

or reach out directly.

Grateful to be part of DiasporaDNA’s anniversary and to all who carry stories forward.

Thank you. 
With care,
Karina Puente
