AaL & ArtsAmica present: Havana in Hyde Park; Revisited

Currently on view. Reception 6/14/25

The imagery of the island comes alive in these prints from Cuba in the second of four
installments of Havana in Hyde Park Revisited, a year-long series of exhibits from the
collection of ArtsAmica and Holliey White, on view until June 30. ArtsAmica was
established in 1996 and has been bringing artwork to the United States from Cuba and
working to support the artists of Cuba directly ever since. Artists-at-Large and ArtsAmica
co-hosted many Havana in Hyde Park exhibits over the years and wanted to celebrate
the series. Havana in Hyde Park Revisited will delve back into the world of Cuban art,
featuring painting, drawing and printmaking and will feature some previously exhibited
pieces along with some work not seen here before. The reception on Saturday, June 14
from 3 to 5 pm will feature a sale of prints on view in the Foyer Case.
About the Print Making techniques used in this exhibit
Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which materials are glued or sealed to a rigid
substrate (such as paperboard or wood) to create a plate. Once inked, the plate becomes a
tool for imprinting the design onto paper or another medium.
Lithography is the process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink
except where it is required for printing.
Mixed Media; assemblages, collages, and sculpture are three common examples of art
using different media. Materials used to create mixed media art include, but are not
limited to, paint, cloth, paper, wood and found objects.
Serigraphy is a printing technique also known as screen printing, silkscreen printing, and
other names. The term originates from the Latin word ‘seri’ meaning ‘silk’, and the Greek
word ‘graphos’, which means ‘writing’.
Xerography (photocopying) is a technology using light and an electric charge to copy
images onto another sheet of paper invented in 1937
