Cuban Visions is a contemporary Cuban art exhibit that features the work of nearly 30 artists. The largest exhibition of Cuban art in New York since MoMA’s Modern Cuban Painters in 1944, Cuban Visions will open a dialogue between prominent Cuban artists and Americans interested in a deeper understanding of Cuban life and culture.

The Cuban Artists Fund is proud to present incisive works by two emerging Cuban photographers: Cirenaica Moreira, whose work concerns the social constructions of feminine roles; and Adonis Flores, whose work documents the mental consequences of war.

Hijuelos, the Pulitzer-Prize-winning novelist (The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love), will discuss and read from his latest publication, a page-turning memoir that traces his life from his childhood in 1950s New York to his development into an acclaimed author.

Holly Block is the Director of the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the author of ART CUBA THE NEW GENERATION. Please RSVP.

Cuban director Gerardo Chijona presents his latest film, which tells the story of Eucine, a teenager who runs away from her father’s sexual abuse and meets Alejandro. Together, they travel in search of a paradise that will change their lives. Ticket to Paradise was featured at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
