Calm, with an elegant black dress, eyes closed and a smile that gives off a feeling of joy and expectation, the Jovita Feijóo monument is being prepared for a gala in which its restoration will be announced.
It will be a special event that will include the participation of special guests, musicians, painters, writers and cultural personalities who will see the new look of the ‘Queen of Cali’.

Plastic artist Diego Pombo, father and creator of this monument in homage to one of the great figures of the ‘Old Cali’ era, explains that It will be an inauguration act and at the same time of resignification.
Regarding Jovita’s ‘look’, Pombo details that he wanted her dress to be black and with a small bath of stars that symbolize the owner, as well as her flowers.
“Initially they were going to be red, but they will be violet because it has a mystical and mournful color and of mourning,” he explains.
With cultural activities and special guests, on Saturday, February 12, they discover the renovated Jovita monument in the city of Cali.

About the closed eyes of the monument, she maintains that they are because “she is dreaming of the Cali of the future, the new Cali that will be reborn with this Jovita to lead pedagogical and art processes, and thus reconcile wills.”

For Pombo, this gala was one of the ones he most expected after a long process in which he prevented this Cali emblem from deteriorating.
Regarding the restoration process, despite having the wishes of friends and colleagues, the great difficulty was always the economic issue, because some entities or organizations assured him resources that ultimately ended in promises.
But the hardest moment was in the context of the social outbreak in which the monument was vandalized and intervened by other people. For Pombo, these types of acts were due more to a “desperation to see one of the icons of Cali restored”, which will be a reality from tomorrow.
