The show inaugurated the eve includes the work of five Cuban photographers based on the Caribbean island, three living in the United States, and one of that country.
The exhibition appear pieces by Sonia Almaguer, Claudia Corrales, Yari Rassi, Titina (Yoanne), Marila Sarduy, Claudia Millares, Laura Pairot, Leticia Sánchez and the American Liza Camilo.
In his profile of the social network Facebook, Almaguer greeted the initiative, congratulated the rest of the artists involved and highlighted the curatorship carried out by the specialists Mayda Tirado and Amanda Castell in the success of this new experience.
According to Tirado, also a general producer of “descents”, these works highlight codes and elements of Cuban culture.
“In this exhibition, the theme of the offspring acts as a conductive thread that unites artists, each offering a unique perspective on how family and cultural stories are transmitted and transformed over time,” he explained in the words of the exhibition catalog.
The spectators who attend the gallery will find from intimate portraits that explore family lineages to images that celebrate the traditions rooted in Cuban culture.
“These photographs reveal the depth and diversity of the roots that connect these women with their past and their community,” said the curator.
It meant that in the exhibition the race emerges as another crucial issue, explored through portraits that challenge stereotypes and celebrate beauty and racial diversity within Cuban society.
“These photographers capture not only the physical appearance, but also the personal and collective stories that define the racial experience in Cuba and the United States, offering an already provocative intimate look on descent and racial identity in a unique cultural context,” he said.
