Downtown El Paso is hosting the Sol Summit Music & Cultura Festival on May 2-3 at San Jacinto Plaza. Local artists have created a giant talavera-inspired papier-mâché longhorn skull from recycled cardboard, which will be the visual centerpiece of the event. The festival features headliners Bomba Estéreo and The Flaming Lips, as well as a makers market and kid zone built with local cultural organizations. The art program is a collaboration between local artists, including Xingaderas, Tino Ortega, Gitzel Moncivais, and Rogelio Rosiles. The skull sculpture is designed to mimic Talavera ceramics and is expected to be exhibited at a biennial or museum after the festival. The event is part of a broader mural renaissance in El Paso, where public art is used for restoration, mentorship, and local storytelling.
