‘On the Horizon’ Contemporary Cuban Art (group show)

January 28th – May 1st 2022  ▪︎ presented by Pérez Art Museum in Miami.

On the Horizon: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Pérez Art Museum Miami features approximately seventy works by fifty Cuban artists of multiple generations, including María Magdalena Campos-Pons (currently a professor at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University), Yoan Capote, Los Carpinteros, Teresita Fernández, and Zilia Sánchez. Through paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos, and installations drawn from one of the largest public collections of Cuban art in the United States, the exhibition inspires dialogue regarding the physical, social, and political landscape of the island and its diaspora. Works in the exhibition demonstrate how artists can weave political commentary into their practices, providing insight into the sophistication of creative expression in an authoritarian system. The horizon line functions as a motif and symbol of personal desire, existential longing, or geographical containment throughout the exhibition—while always visible, it remains perpetually distant and unattainable.

This exhibition explores the work of artists from the Caribbean who made their home in Britain, alongside other British artists whose work has been influenced and inspired by Caribbean themes and heritage. Spanning visionary paintings to documentary photography, fashion, film and sculpture, Life Between Islands traces the extraordinary breadth and impact of Caribbean British art, in one setting. This exhibition celebrates how people from the Caribbean have forged new communities and identities in post-war Britain – and in doing so have transformed what British culture and society looks like today.

‘AT PEACE’ Curated by Jade Foster

9th December 2021 – 30th January 2022, presented by Gillian Jason Gallery, in the U.K.

Each of the five artists featuring in the show, create figurative works that are unbound by prejudice; subverting and rethinking how Black women and figures have been regarded by Western naturalistic classical and modernist traditions within painting. Traditionally depicted as ‘at service’, mocked, or absent, black figures in art are often seen through a racialised lens – as homogenous and primitive. However, the works chosen for At Peace communicate a sense of independence and palpable presence. The show embodies ‘exhibition as research’ and is driven by an holistic approach to curating by establishing a space of healing in which the artists and the artworks exercise collective agency: all five artists share similar belief systems as well as an understanding of the pressure within the art industry to conform to expectations of what Black artists ‘should be creating.’ At Peace therefore seeks to act as a space in which each artist presents, talks about and references their work in their own way and on their own terms.

‘Iroko Moforibale’ solo show by Gabriela Pez (exhibition)

14th January 2022 – ongoing, presented by Habana Espacios Creativos, in Cuba.

Iroko Moforibale is the visual essay resulting from the visual arts scholarship granted by Habana Espacios Creativos. It is the result of several months of research and experimentation with paper.


‘Puerto Rico Plural’ (exhibition)

9th January – 10th June 2022, presented by Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, in Puerto Rico.

The exhibition includes yearnings, tributes, denunciations, contrasts, and convergences, as well as provocations for dialogue.

For this reason, Puerto Rico Plural is an invitation to encounter and reflect on Puerto Rican culture —our history, our people, and our art.
