¡Provecho!

I stumbled across ¡Provecho! in the Prudential Center. From the outside, I thought windows has been painted, but when I entered the lobby I saw this amazing installation. It's a large-scale, piñata like piece by Justin Favela. It's meant to celebrate the strong culture of Boston’s Latinx people.
The work is made of long strands of fabric meant to look like the traditional paper found on the piñatas. Favela chose piñatas as a means of taking a common object that is at times stereotyped and making it into an art form accessible to all.

I found it to be such a pleasing and intriguing work and was glad to discover it!

This is a beautiful installation...and I wonder if the fabric shimmers and moves as people walk under it. I would love to see this!

you boomers are shutting down the entire economy because you're afraid of a flu. Seriously, can you boomers kill yourselves? You are the most selfish generation to ever exist. You don't give a shit about climate change, why should we young people give a shit if you get sick and die of some virus? I HOPE the virus gets much stronger and kills you all.

Do you boomers realize how universally hated you are? There is not one single demographic that does not hate you- white people, black people, asians, mexicans, indians, chinese, millennials, GenX, GenZ. Something tells me that you boomers are not going to have a very comfortable or easy retirement, especially once you end up in the retirement homes.

Can you baby boomers hurry up and fucking drop dead? Enjoy your retirement homes cause we younger people will not take care of you even if we wanted to, due to the shitty economy you boomers created. Do you boomers realize that the younger generation is simply waiting for you to fucking drop dead?

You are all going to end up in retirement homes and we all know that the elderly gets treated pretty badly in retirement homes. Well, that's what you get for ruining your own children's lives. Even if your children WANTED to take care of you, they couldn't, due to you boomers destroying the economy. So I hope you enjoy the retirement homes, boomer scum!
