"Drawing from her own background as a flamenco dancer and working in a variety of mediums, Pazos explores the emotional depth, cultural richness and dynamic movement of the art form. "Flamenco has always lived deep within me," said Pazos, a native of Cuba. "Through this work, I hope to share the passion, color and energy that continue to inspire me.""
"Presented in collaboration with the Greater Los Altos Chinese Association (GLACA), the event brings together Chinese American families and the wider community to celebrate and learn about Chinese heritage and traditions. The Mid-Autumn Festival-second only to Lunar New Year in significance-has been observed for over 3,000 years. Rooted in harvest rituals and the legend of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, the holiday symbolizes reunion, gratitude and hope for health and happiness."
