Homage to the Street Mutts
Costa Rican sculptor Francisco Mungéa is working on a series of six sculptures that pay tribute to the many stray dogs that wander the streets of San Josí. The sculptures will be up beginning Octuber 17th on the south side of the Mercado Central in downtown San Josí.
I’m looking forward to seeing this new exhibition of public art. Street dogs, called zaguates here in Costa Rica, are possibly the most marginalized animal in the country. They also may be the most ubiquitous. You’ll find packs of mutts trotting throughout Costa Rica’s cities, towns and countryside. Refuse and rejection become their daily bread. The fact that Munguéa has decided to commit the canine’s plight to iron should give passersby pause. Additionally, this work will form part of an interesting pattern of statues and sculptures downtown. Wheresa many cities place generals, presidents and conquerors on pedestals, pedestrians in the capital here will find monuments to musicians, street sweepers, families and now, mutts. It’s an artistic extension of an underlying egalitarian ideal that remains alive in the Costa Rican psyche.
