Salvadoran cultural heritage is being showcased through various international exhibitions in Mexico and Costa Rica.

In Mexico, the Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares is hosting ‘Entre flores y palmas: identidad, comunidad y ritual en Panchimalco.’ This exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Embassy of El Salvador, focuses on the Nahua-Pipil people and the Cofradía de las Flores y las Palmas. The display includes 15 photographs, artisanal pieces, ritual objects, and traditional textiles, such as skirts made on lever looms, to document community organization and intergenerational knowledge.

In Costa Rica, the Centro Cultural de España is set to inaugurate an exhibition titled ‘Una mano en la luz y otra en la sombra. Grabados, 1936-1942.’ This event focuses on the graphic and printmaking legacy of Salvadoran artist Lastenia Araujo Serpas. The program in San José includes lectures, poetry recitals, and guided tours intended to explore the artist’s contributions to Central American history.
