Two famous artists from Latin America are preparing for big events in 2026. Delcy Morelos is a Colombian artist. She makes very large sculptures from mud. In 2026, she will show a huge sculpture in Britain. This sculpture weighs 30 tonnes. It has red walls made of earth. When people go inside, they smell spices like cinnamon and clove. These smells remind Morelos of her home in Colombia. People call her the "Diva of dirt" because she uses soil to make art. She wants people to think about the earth and how it supports all life.
Another artist, Gabriela Lena Frank, is a composer. She will perform her first opera at the Met Opera in New York. Her music tells a story about Mexican culture. The opera is about the famous painter Frida Kahlo. In the story, Kahlo travels during the Day of the Dead. She meets her husband, Diego Rivera, in a special place. This music brings Mexican traditions to a very famous American opera house.
These two artists use their history to make something new. Morelos uses the physical earth, and Frank uses music. They show that art does not need expensive materials. It can use mud, smells, and old stories to reach people around the world. In 2026, their work will bring Latin American culture to big stages in Europe and America.
