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.
