The Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires (MALBA, by its Spanish acronym) is throwing itself a birthday party, and the entire city is invited.

From 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, the museum will be opening its doors to the public free of charge, with the bash extending into the adjacent Plaza Peruano. MALBA, which was founded by the Argentine businessman Eduardo Constantini, is celebrating its 22nd anniversary.

Activities include a series of family-friendly workshops in which you can get your hair braided like Rosa Rolanda and Frida Kahlo, compose different kinds of Latin American sellos (seals), and create your own toritos de Pucará — ceramic bulls that are typically sold at the train stations in the Lampa province of Peru.

Inside its walls, MALBA will be offering multiple tours of its Tercer Ojo (Third Eye) and Luz y Fuerza (Light and Strength) exhibitions. The former includes as many as 220 works from such 20th-century luminaries as Diego Rivera, Xul Solar, Joaquín Torres García, Roberto Matta, and Antonio Berni. The latter, according to the museum’s website, is an “exploration of artistic practice in the new millennium,” focusing on “ancient oriental and Amerindian worldviews, meditation, holistic therapies, esotericisms, homeopathy, neoshamanism, astrology, and Buddhism.”

Malba Joven will close the outdoor festivities with an open-air concert featuring electroacoustic DJ and producer Aylu and the visual artist Vanesa Massa, both of whom are sponsored by the Digital Arts Initiative Amplify. That act will be followed by electronic artist Franzisca, who will be performing music from her new album Vida Nocturna and a set inspired by Tercer Ojo.

A full schedule of the day’s events can be found below.
