As part of Cubafest, Kingston’s celebration of Cuban culture, Modern Fuel is proud to host a talk with Cuban curator and art critic Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda, a member of the curatorial team for the 10th Havana Biennial. Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda will give a presentation entitled “Emergence/Resistance: Themes, Works, and Artists from the Havana Biennale” focusing on the dominant themes of the exhibition.
The 10th Biennial of Havana, with the title “Integration and Resistance in the Global Age,” was held from 27 March to 30 April 2009, and marked 25 years since the first of these exhibitions was organized. It provided an opportunity to look back on its history and to reflect on the principles that have underpinned this gathering of artists from Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, in an atmosphere where genuine togetherness has prevailed.
Cubafest is taking place at various locations in Kingston from May 1-9, 2009. As part of Cubafest, Modern Fuel is presenting two Cuba-related exhibitions in its space, Harold Coego’s “Transactions of the Eye” in the Main Gallery, and Elisa Paloschi’s “Shifting Light” in the State of Flux Gallery, from 3 May to 6 June, 2009.
