Currently exhibiting in Tokyo, Japan is the "「ラ展」IMAGINARY ART TRIP THROUGH LATINAMERICA" = a Latin-themed art exhibition focusing on the union of concepts "Character Design + Latin America". ラ展 (pronnounced “LaTen”), and showcases invited artists' expression/interpretation of "their vision of that concept through the silhouette of CERRITO, a character that represents “the Essence of Latinity” and that on this occasion is presented as a link between Japanese characters and Latin culture."

EXHIBITION CONCEPT: "CERRITO, a South American Yokai, appeared as a dream to each artist in an "altered state of mind" and takes them to a mystical trip to Latin America. After "waking up from the ride" each artist will draw the experience in the "parallel Latin America" through the psychedelic journey with CERRITO.
That revealing trip and turned into "Apostles of Cerrito" each artist will generate images according to what they saw in "the Cerritean Dream"."
