El Pasado Mío: Afrodescent Contributions To Cuban Art
This landmark exhibition celebrates the work of forty-three Afro-Cuban artists who were active between the 1820s and the present. While several of those featured have achieved global fame (even if posthumously), many have yet to receive the attention they deserve, prominent among them a group of eleven female artists whose works have never been displayed together.
Afrocubanismo: Highlights From The Ramon and Nerycs Cernuda Collection
Artists in 1930s Cuba navigated competing pressures between academic success, avant‑garde innovation, and European modernism, giving rise to Afrocubanismo, a movement that re-centered Afro‑Cuban culture as fundamental to modern Cuban identity while remaining entangled with exoticism and racial stereotyping. Drawing on the Ramón and Nercys Cernuda Collection, the Lowe Art Museum’s exhibition—guest curated by Alejandro de la Fuente—presents key Afrocubanista works, including by Wifredo Lam, to illuminate the complex social and cultural forces shaping twentieth‑century Cuban art.
Tickets: $15 per person
Free for Lowe members
We look forward to sharing this enriching evening with you!
