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, many have yet to receive the attention they deserve. Inspired by an influential 1988 exhibition.
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.
Lowe exhibitions and programs are funded in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts; the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, Miami-Dade Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the City of Coral Gables; Beaux Arts Miami; Lowe Advisory Council; and Lowe members.
