Get the chance to check out the first two exhibits in the newly renovated MoAD:
Drapetomania - the Art of Afro-Cuba: by Grupo Antillano Grupo Antillano articulated a vision of Cuban culture that privileged the importance of Africa and Afro-Caribbean influences in the formation of the Cuban nation. The art of Grupo Antillano belongs to a long tradition of Caribbean resistance and cultural assertion. It is part of what Haitian poet René Depestre has described as the African slaves’ “prodigious effort at legitimate defense” and “ideological cimarronaje (“Self-liberation”)” by which they managed to recreate their pasts and cultures in the new world.
Beyond: by Lava Thomas
This is a two-part exhibition that weaves together early and new works in a way that the old becomes the new and the new an echo of the old. With these works, Thomas created alternative ways to approach portraiture that inspires reflective thought and evokes a sense of the sublime through memory, metamorphosis, and transcendence.
