Around 25 children paraded “burriquitas”, decorated donkey figures, through the streets of Carúpano, Venezuela, as part of holiday and carnival celebrations.
The children created the burriquitas in workshops held at schools and cultural centers in Bermúdez municipality, Sucre state. Janet Mayz, coordinator of Fundapatrimonio, explained that the parade began at Bolívar Plaza in Carúpano and ended at the entrance of Santa Catalina church, where local artists performed.
Organizers held the workshops over several months to teach children how to make the burriquitas and ensure the tradition continues. Mayz stated that the goal was to revive the burriquita tradition in the municipality and preserve it for future generations through education. Fundapatrimonio intends to continue supporting cultural work and promoting these traditions.
