SUMMARY:AaL & ArtsAmica present: Havana in Hyde Park; Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Currently on view. Reception 6/14/25 \nThe imagery of the island comes alive in these prints from Cuba in the second of four\ninstallments of Havana in Hyde Park Revisited\, a year-long series of exhibits from the\ncollection of ArtsAmica and Holliey White\, on view until June 30. ArtsAmica was\nestablished in 1996 and has been bringing artwork to the United States from Cuba and\nworking to support the artists of Cuba directly ever since. Artists-at-Large and ArtsAmica\nco-hosted many Havana in Hyde Park exhibits over the years and wanted to celebrate\nthe series. Havana in Hyde Park Revisited will delve back into the world of Cuban art\,\nfeaturing painting\, drawing and printmaking and will feature some previously exhibited\npieces along with some work not seen here before. The reception on Saturday\, June 14\nfrom 3 to 5 pm will feature a sale of prints on view in the Foyer Case.\nAbout the Print Making techniques used in this exhibit\nCollagraphy is a printmaking process in which materials are glued or sealed to a rigid\nsubstrate (such as paperboard or wood) to create a plate. Once inked\, the plate becomes a\ntool for imprinting the design onto paper or another medium.\nLithography is the process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink\nexcept where it is required for printing.\nMixed Media; assemblages\, collages\, and sculpture are three common examples of art\nusing different media. Materials used to create mixed media art include\, but are not\nlimited to\, paint\, cloth\, paper\, wood and found objects.\nSerigraphy is a printing technique also known as screen printing\, silkscreen printing\, and\nother names. The term originates from the Latin word ‘seri’ meaning ‘silk’\, and the Greek\nword ‘graphos’\, which means ‘writing’.\nXerography (photocopying) is a technology using light and an electric charge to copy\nimages onto another sheet of paper invented in 1937

Havana in Hyde Park Revisited – Surrealism\nfeatures some previously exhibited pieces along with some work not seen here before. ArtsAmica was established in 1996 and has been bringing artwork to the United States from Cuba since its inception. The organization works to support the artists of Cuba directly. Artists-at-Large has worked with ArtsAmica since 2002. \nPresented by Artists-at-Large and ArtsAmica\, Havana in Hyde Park Revisited – Surrealism is on display until March 31\, 2025. \nAbout Cuban Art \nCuban art is a vibrant and diverse expression of the island’s rich cultural heritage\, influenced by its history\, politics\, and social changes. It encompasses a wide range of artistic forms\, including painting\, sculpture\, music\, dance\, and performance. \nCuban art has evolved significantly since the colonial period\, where European influences dominated. The early 20th century saw the emergence of modernism\, with artists like Wilfredo Lam incorporating Afro-Cuban themes and surrealism into their work. The African diaspora has profoundly shaped Cuban art\, particularly in music and visual arts. Artists often explore themes of identity\, spirituality\, and the blending of cultures through their work. \nThe Cuban Revolution of 1959 also had a significant impact on the art scene. The government promoted art as a means of fostering national identity and social change\, leading to the establishment of institutions that supported artists. This era produced politically charged works that reflected revolutionary ideals. \nToday\, Cuban artists continue to gain international recognition. They experiment with various media\, including installation and performance art. Artists like Tania Bruguera and Los Carpinteros challenge societal norms and explore themes of power\, identity\, and globalization. Key institutions\, such as the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana\, play an essential role in preserving and promoting Cuban art. Galleries and cultural centers across the island also showcase both established and emerging artists. \nOverall\, Cuban art is a dynamic and evolving field that reflects the complexities of Cuban society\, history\, and culture\, making it a unique and essential aspect of the global art landscape. \n-Holliey White\, ArtsAmica Founder \n\nAccessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible.
