Paper Mache Masks and the Vejigante:
What is the Vejigante? The vejigante (vey-hee-GANT-eh)is a mischievous character that stars
in the Carnivals of Puerto Rico. Traditionally he wears a papier mache mask and a colorful
robe. Masks of Ponce, in addition to being very well crafted, are some of the most wildly artistic
masks in the world. Read more about the Vejigante! Few of the full-sized masks can be
found outside of Puerto Rico. The process of mask making and the history of the
vejigante can be a fun cultural activity . In a classroom setting or at home, the art of papier mache can be taught
to people of all ages. Read more about classroom activities for carnival and cultural learning about Puerto Rico!
