Free

Please join Rene Peña and Alejandro González for a short introduction to their practice and approach. In two short back to back sessions each photographer will individually introduce their practice with a quick slide projection and commentary. This event allows visitors the opportunity to get to know more about these photographers and their unique approach.

All art that calls itself Cuban, whether or not made in Cuba, bears the seal of the country’s history and the existential drama of its inhabitants. Its creators have not succeeded in resisting the need to issue judgment on that history or simply identify themselves in it. It is an unavoidable art-life-society interconnection. About Her, about Me, and about Them is a way of thinking about part of that recent history through photography.

About Her, about Me, and about Them is an unfinished trilogy about a country under permanent construction.
