Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean. A participant in and of copious universal changes, it's been ruled in the past by Spain and the U.S. as well as a brief British occupation, creating a multi-cultural heritage heavily augmented by approximately 800,000 enslaved Africans brought mainly from West Africa, close to twice as many as the United States, between 1808 and 1820 during the sugar and coffee boom. A variety of situations and the melding of cultures fueled personal upheaval that conveyed profound depth of creativity to these islands.
“Afrocubanismo” is a parallel project meant to be viewed in conversation with “El Pasado Mío.” All of the artists featured in this exhibition were racialized as white during their lives, with the exception of Wifredo Lam, a celebrated Afro-Cuban painter, considered by some to be the most prominent — and by others, the only — Afrodescendant artist in Cuba in the 20th century.
The Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami is celebrating that legacy with the largest survey of Afro-Cuban art ever staged. Two exhibitions bring together more than 100 works by 58 artists, tracing 200 years of creativity and exploring the many ways African heritage has shaped Cuban art.
*Tangere* takes its title from a passage written by John Alfred Charlton Deas in *What the Blind May ‘See’: Some Museum and Other Experiments in Tactile Sight*. In this book, the curator of the Sunderland Museum in the UK recounts the experiences generated during a series of pioneering inclusive sessions in which blind people of different genders and ages touched and interacted with objects from the collection. John Alfred Charlton Deas, in describing those episodes, remarked: “To them, their fingers are eyes.”.
La Térmica is opening “Tangere,” an exhibition of paintings by Nacho Martín Silva designed for blind and visually impaired visitors. This new in-house production, curated by Juan Francisco Rueda and developed in collaboration with the ONCE branch in Málaga, will be open to the public through September 20. Tangere actively involves blind people as collaborators in the project, making inclusion an essential part of the artistic experience.

Bodies, bodies, bodies: artists revisit the nude in exhibitions around New York
ARTNEWS
At a time of renewed interest in the representation of the body and the nude in contemporary art in New York, Rocío García's work stands out for its provocative exploration of the dynamics of power, desire and sexuality from a narrative and deeply political perspective. Her paintings, charged with erotic tension and symbolism, consolidate her presence as one of the most singular voices in the Cuban art scene today.
