Thursday, December 9, 6-7 PM (EST)
$10 Artists & Students, $15 Adults
Join us for a Pairings featuring the work of Wifredo Lam and Daniel Lind-Ramos, two artists whose work speaks to Afro-Caribbean and diasporic histories, traditions, and cultures.
Wifredo Lam (b. 1902, Sagra La Grande, Cuba; d. 1982, Paris, France) was a painter, draftsperson, and sculptor whose work drew together European Cubsim and Surrealism with Afro-Caribbean and African art and ideas to create works rooted in a Cuban imagination.
Daniel Lind-Ramos (b. 1953, Loiza, Puerto Rico; lives/works: Loiza, Puerto Rico) is best known for his assemblages that bring together everyday and culturally specific materials that address social histories, religious practices, and the built and natural environment of Loiza, the center of Puerto Rico’s African diasporic community.
Two educators, Angela Garcia and Maya Jeffereis, will guide participants in looking closely at works of art and dive deep into conversation. Come open to sharing your responses to the works, learning something you perhaps didn’t know, and meaningfully connecting with others.
