Join us at Somers Gallery on 5 September for an afternoon exploring contemporary Cuba through films, visual art and conversations!
Programme:
🎞️ 2:00 pm | Film Screenings & Commentary
Short films by Fernando Fraguela (@palenque_films), Yaritza Guirado (@yaryguirado), and Carlos Alejandro Halley (@carlosalejandrohalley), which explore memory and displacement. Introduced by film curator Léo Krenzer (@leo.krenzer), the screenings will be followed by commentary and an audience Q&A.
🎨 4:30 pm | Panel Discussion: Artists, Movement and Production Across Borders
Join art professionals Jasmine Chohan (@jasminechohan), Amanda Colina (@nadama_glezco), and Gabriela Román (@gabriela_rglez) for a conversation moderated by Raquel González (@raquel_gonzalez_ei). Together, they’ll explore how migration and mobility are shaping contemporary Cuban artistic practice, from independent initiatives and emerging artists to the evolving cultural landscape within and beyond the island.
🍸 From 5:30 pm | Cocktails & Conversation
Stay for Cuban cocktails and nibbles, and the chance to continue the conversation.
