Over the course of the 2011/2012 year The Cleveland Institute of Art will be hosting a total of five Cuban Artists as part of its Cuba Project. Coming in the fall: Abel Barroso Arencibia and Osmeivy Ortega Pacheco ... and in the spring: Alex Hernandez Dueñas; José Ángel Toirac Batista and Meira Marrero Día.
The Cuba Project represents a coordinated program designed to broaden exposure to Cuban art and life, and to dis-spell many of the myths surrounding life in Cuba. A core component of the program is cross-generational and cross-cultural dialogues. The centerpieces are two symposia dealing with nation and creative generations. The first of these will occur on the evening of Thursday, October 13.
In addition there will be a number of public talks, exhibitions, and other opportunities to engage these artists, their work, and Cuban culture.
CIA Associate Professor David Hart, PhD., is the Project Lead.
The Cleveland Institute of Art's Cuba Project is made possible by generous support from the Cleveland Foundation through its Creative Fusion initiative. (THANK YOU!)
