The 2010 TPN Artist Retreat is ideal for artists interested in religion, Latin America and the African Diaspora.
The Feast day of the Cristo Negro of Portobelo, also known as the Black Christ Festival, is the perfect setting for artists, especially photographers, to work out creative ideas and gain artistic inspiration.
Artists will have the opportunity to commune with one another, work on small projects and participate in the annual religious festival that draws tens of thousands of pilgrims each year.
Photographers will be attracted to the age-old rituals and traditions of the predominately black town; it’s ancient Spanish forts, slave cemetery, and retained slave and cimarron (called Congo) culture.
Artists won’t fail to be stimulated by the abundance of stunning visual imagery, overwhelming emotion and electrifying energy of the festival.
