Cuban diaspora art exhibitions

Overview

Cuban artists are utilizing art exhibitions across the United States and Europe to explore themes of migration, identity, and the current realities of life in Cuba.

In the United States, exhibitions in Santa Fe and Washington, D.C., have focused on the psychological aspects of displacement and the sensory experiences of travel. These works examine the tension between remaining in one’s homeland and the impulse to migrate.

In Europe, exhibitions in Paris and Alcobendas, Spain, have expanded the dialogue to include solidarity and social integration. The Paris exhibition, ‘La Habana Intangible’, serves as a project to benefit artists in Havana through photography and cultural dialogue. Meanwhile, the ‘Esperanza de los cubanos: la libertad’ showcase in Spain uses visual arts to contrast the material hardships faced by the Cuban population with their hopes for future transformation, aiming to integrate the emigrant community with local Spanish society.
