Seminal exhibition on Afrocuban Religions in contemporary Cuban photography 

 

On February 11th, a seminal photography exhibition on the Afrocuban Religions is to be opened in Havana. Though they have been banned from public life for decades, the religions of African origin have played an important role in shaping Cuban culture and national identity. Even Fidel Castro himself is said to be involved in these cults. La Fototeca de Cuba, Havana's Museum of Photography, is proud to present el otro lado del alma: Afrocuban Religions in Contemporary Photography. The show will bring together over 80 works by thirteen contemporary Cuban photographers and video artists whose work reflects the Afrocuban religions. The project has been initiated and organized by the Austrian curator Moritz Neumueller and event manager Claudia Hundius from Argentina, in association with Fototeca's Director Lourdes Socarrás and Chief Curator Nelson R. de Arellano.
