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 examples by Wifredo Lam, to illuminate the complex social and cultural forces shaping twentieth century Cuban art.

This exhibition was made possible by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council; the Miami-Dade Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the Lowe Advisory Council; the City of Coral Gables; Beaux-Arts Miami; and Lowe members. It was sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.
