North Riverside Park Mall announced that it is partnering with the Mexican Cultural Center DuPage to revitalize select Alebrijes from the 2022 Cantigny exhibition. The works will be on display at the mall as part of the Cartoneria: The Mexican Tradition of Paper Mache from now through May 7, 2023. The exhibition celebrates Mexican culture and the folk-art format seen primarily in Mexico City. The community is invited to participate in this one-of-a-kind exhibition with paper mache, painting and creature restoration alongside the artists from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. each Saturday in March. Cartoneria is a Mexican Folk art form that involves the creation of decorative items using paper and cardboard. The term comes from the Spanish word “carton,” which means cardboard. The exhibition at North Riverside Park Mall features 3 artists-in-residence restoring 22 paper mache sculptures that vary in size with some being larger than a typical SUV.
