Lecture | Afro-Cuban Visual Arts: A New History

Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut, Conference Room and via Webex.

Tuesday, 12.3.2024, 18.00 h (UTC+01, Berlin).

Cary Aileen García Yero.

In the 1990s, Cuban art historian Gerardo Mosquera had already noted that Cuban visual arts suffered from being “Eurocentric”. Since then, the art schools, institutional archives, and the histories that are written from them about the island’s visual arts have often continued to prioritize white-identified artists and artistic production that follows Western art interests and conventions. In her presentation, Cary Aileen García Yero (Harvard University / Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow) looks at visual arts since the 1940s and presents how the narrative of the traditional canon radically changes when we rewrite the history of Cuban arts grounded on the artistic output of Afro-Cuban artists: who the revolutionary artists are, what counts as new Cuban art, what chronologies are observed, what art communities matter, what motivates the output, among other issues.
Moderation: Clara Ruvituso (Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut / Mecila)

The lecture is part of the Lecture Series “Diversity/Medialities” organized by Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut and Mecila – Maria Sibylla Merian Centre Conviviality-Inequality in Latin America (financed by BMBF)
