Eighty cow-canvases from the world famous Cow Parade exhibit have invaded the streets of Lima, Peru. The exhibit, which pursues the dream of breaking distances between art and people, was inaugurated by Lima’s Mayor Luis Castañeda. The eighty cows have been decorated by several Peruvian artists, in many cases using genuine Peruvian motifs, promoting local art and raising funds for charities.
These fascinating statues will stay on display until February and the funds raised after their sale will be sent to Centro Anne Sullivan, Fundación Lima and the NGO Socios en Salud. These cows are currently being displayed in a variety of locations such as Sáenz Peña park and Chabuca Granda boulevard, in Barranco; Plaza de Armas, in Downtown Lima; Salazar, Parque del Amor, Raimondi and Kennedy parks, en Miraflores; Pueblo Libre Central Park and Jockey Plaza Shopping Center. Some of the local artists that have designed a cow include Gian Marco, Dina Páucar, Damaris, Carlos Galdós, Pochi Marambio, Raúl Romero, Bruno Pinasco, Mauricio Fernandini, Marcelo Wong, Eduardo Tokeshi, Aldo Shiroma, José Antonio Morales, José Miguel Valdivia and Carlos Revilla, among many others.
This exhibition that began ten years ago at Zurich, has been staged at 70 cities around the world, like New York, Buenos Aires, Chicago, London, Paris, Athens, Lisbon and Sao Paulo.
