A few weeks ago, we saw a post on Instagram: a carnival mask featuring a ñaupita character. The painting was done by artist Kim-Libélula.
As a team, we immediately reviewed the post because we know that many people and institutions make use of the work, the product of the arduous research of our late brother Alfredo Mires, and never mention the source, much less acknowledge the artistic author of the drawings published in the iconography books of the Rural Libraries Network. As an example, let's look at the posters of the Cajamarca carnival... But this time was different because the painter mentions that she made her mask with Alfredo Mires' iconography, so we are happy to continue sharing the vast legacy that Alfredo left us.
We sincerely recognise Kim-Libélula's work and her respect for the work of others.
