Join exhibition artists Leandro Feal, Celia Gonzalez (of Celia-Yunior), Camila Lobón, Lester Álvarez Meno and Reynier Leyva Novo for a moderated discussion with curators Abel González Fernández and Gwen A. Unger.
The panel will explore what it is like for artists to work and practice in Havana, Cuba, and how they navigate a government controlled art scene. The school system for fine arts in Havana, and how that leads to establishing a career, as well as how artists work through public, institutional spaces and private, independent spaces will also be discussed. The artists will also reflect on their experiences over the course of their careers and how the changes in recent years have affected their artistic practice, and ultimately their very lives.
The panel will be followed by a screening of the Sin349 documentary series.
This program is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Sin Autorización: Contemporary Cuban Art, on view at the Wallach Art Gallery October 21 through January 15, 2023. The exhibition is curated by Gwen A. Unger and Abel González Fernández
