On June 30, in Caracas, the event “191 days without Julieta” will be held, in homage to the street artist, cuatrista and itinerant clown from Venezuela, Julieta Hernández, who was cruelly murdered on January 5, 2024, in the town of Presidente Figueiredo, in northwestern Brazil.

According to information from Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), the program of the event includes cycling that will begin on Avenida México and will cover approximately 10 kilometers in a series of areas of the capital until reaching the Aquiles Nazoa Cultural House. Once in La Casona, the public will be able to witness multiple objects and dolls that belonged to Hernández, including his clown nose, which will be carried in a chest by cyclists for exhibition.

In turn, a forum will be held on the gender-based violence experienced by migrant women, to raise awareness about femicide.

The announcement was made in the context of World Bicycle Day, with the presence of the musician, Sandino Primera, and Estefany Hernández, bronze medalist at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the BMX category. Also present were the Julieta Presente Cultural Movement, representatives of Tinta Violeta, Creative Uproar, Ser Urbano, Biciculture Venezuela, National Circus Arts Network, Venezuelan Wristbands and the National Institute for Women.
