Mazeredo Sculptures at Holi Hai Festival Photos

NEW YORK - May 1, 2016 - PRLog -- This past Saturday, thousands of people gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York City to celebrate Spring, friendship and equality for all.

Organized by Bhangra NYC, the festival really brought to life the meaning of Holi Hai.

The "joie de vivre" that emanates from the sculptures currently on view at the Plaza, and the vibrant colors in the works of Brazilian artist Mazeredo, really suited the mood. The artist's Dialogue series was meant to bring people from different backgrounds together. The Festival happened to converge on the same theme and brought performing arts to visual arts before the United Nations building on a beautiful Spring morning.


The Plaza welcomed people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Several dance groups performed and many vendors offered authentic Indian food. Strangers quickly became friends in the spirit of this Festival, which encourages people to knock down social barriers for the special occasion. Covered in color from head to toe, families sat on the steps below the platform where Mazeredo's four sculptures stand: Babel, Dialogue, Communication and Butterfly. Kids climbed her sculptures and held hands around them.

"When I created these pieces," said Mazeredo, "this is exactly what I had in mind.  They were meant to be a conversation piece and a source of joy for people to gather and play around."
