FEELING CUBA
January 17-February 16, 2014

 

This exhibition highlights the works by Cuban artists. For most of us, Cuba has remained an enigma - a country hidden from view, yet a treasure in our midst. "Never has any man seen such a beautiful place", wrote Christopher Columbus in his ship's log, dated October 28, 1492. Nonetheless, despite the visual epiphany he and those exploring the West Indies seem to have experienced at the turn of the fifteenth century, Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean Sea, has continued to be concealed from our view. Why is this? Twentieth century political policies? Or is it the paradox of being so close to the United States but so far from familiar social and cultural norms? Through this exhibit, it is our desire to bring all closer to the life of Cuba, to feel the presence of this geographically intimate neighbor to the South, and explore the richness of this great island and its people.

 

Opening reception:
Sunday, January 19, 2014, 3:00-5:00 pm
