The word "mira", in Spanish, can mean two things: it translates as "look", or it can designate an intention, a specific goal. With this fair, the organizers aim to draw attention to theart, cultures and richness of Latin America, and to put talented artists from across the Atlantic in the international spotlight. The event also aims to authentically convey and share the cultures of the South American continent. This includes painting, photography and sculpture, as well as gastronomy, music and entertainment!
