 "Veveviejo" by Martorell to Premiere This Friday at IPRAC, 6pm Maestro Antonio Martorell will be unveiling his permanent installation entitled "Veveviejo." This exhibit is his view about the very old and very young as the "third world of humanity." Martorell asserts that they are the most vulnerable because they don't always have economic and political capital. Their limited voice and physical capabilities makes them susceptible to cruelty and crime.
