SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Havana in Hyde Park Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Artists-at-Large with longtime friends and collaborators at ArtsAmica — Havana in Hyde Park Revisited — will delve back into the world of Cuban art\, featuring painting\, drawing and printmaking. Artists-at-Large and ArtsAmica have co-hosted recurring\, Havana in Hyde Park\, exhibits for many years and wanted to honor and celebrate this amazing work they have been able to bring to the community. Havana in Hyde Park Revisited will feature 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. \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 \n \n\n \n \nAccessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible.

SUMMARY:My Guide to Feeling It All: An Informal Showing
DESCRIPTION:My Guide to Feeling It All: An Informal Showing \nCome feel it all during this evening of contemporary dance \nAbout this Event \nWe spend time trying to escape\, control\, or even understand emotions. What if instead of hiding from feelings\, we invited them in? \nMy Guide to Feeling It All is an intricate movement tapestry portraying the wide range of human emotion created by Angelina Benitez in collaboration with Alexandria Nunweiler and Katrina Conte. This contemporary dance work challenges the societal norms that often encourage us to suppress or compartmentalize our feelings\, instead celebrating the beauty of authenticity while inviting viewers to embrace their own identities and express their emotions without fear or judgment. \nThroughout this approximately 30-min performance\, the dancers embody the intersection of shame and pride\, love and grief\, anxiety and excitement\, carefully holding space for the many contradictions and paradoxes that make up the human experience. Adam Matthew’s original composition blends ballads\, acoustic guitar interludes\, and electric guitar jams to match the range of emotion presented physically. \nThe evening begins with a chocolate meditation (do we have your interest piqued?) followed by a prelude of community-built choreography made during workshop series. The performance will be followed by a short Q&A with the students and artists. \nCome feel it all. \nThis presentation is made possible in part by a Community Building Mini Grant from the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. \nAbout the Choreographer: \nANGELINA BENITEZ graduated from Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Her choreography at Salem State was presented at Boston’s American College Dance Association Conference and earned her a Presidential Arts Scholarship and a Creativity Award in Dance. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance in the Greater Boston area at local studios\, schools\, and residencies. Her recent performance experience includes local arts festivals and events such as Verse / Visual\, 24 Hour ChoreoFest\, Salem Arts Festival\, Art Walk with Luminarium\, and more. Much of her work is focused on collaboration. When she’s not teaching dance\, you can find her working as a social media strategist\, creating fiber art\, and taking pole dance classes. \nAbout the Dancers: \nALEXANDRIA NUNWEILER is a contemporary choreographer\, performer\, administrator and educator based in Boston\, MA. Her movement is rooted in history\, human experience\, and the fine line between darkness and humor. Alexandria earned her B.A. in Dance from Winthrop University. Alexandria works within The Click and with Alive Dance Collective as the Director of Development\, performer and choreographer. She currently teaches at Creative Steps Dance Studio in Newton\, MA and is a recurring guest artist at Dance Theatre of Greenville in South Carolina. \nKATRINA CONTE is a dancer and choreographer based in Boston MA. She attended the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts in Mt Pocono PA. Katrina graduated with her BFA in Dance with a minor in Technical Theater from Ball State University. She is working administratively at the Boston Center for the Arts and dancing with The Click\, Alive Dance Collective and Luminarium Dance. \nAbout the Musician: \nADAM MATTHEW is a guitarist and songwriter local to the North Shore. He’s been playing and performing for over 20 years. He has studied music at the New School in New York and with artists including David Schumacher and Joel Yennior. A resident of Newburyport for many years\, Adam has played at many local favorites such as the Grog\, The Barking Dog\, The Sunset Club\, Plum Island Grille\, and the Grove at the Briar Bar Inn. \nAbout The Click: \nDeveloped in 2021\, The Click is a collaborative dance company and creative collective in Greater Boston. Its members are dancers whose primary medium of physical expression is through contemporary dance forms\, but who experiment in many modes and genres of creativity. As a collective\, The Click’s members are each deeply invested in answering the universally complex question: who am I and what am I doing here? \nThe Click contributes to the consistent presence of creativity in Boston and beyond in several ways: by educating pre-professional youth dancers\, professional adult dancers and the dance-curious of any age; performing original creations several times a year at traditional and non-traditional venues across Massachusetts\, New England and beyond; and by investing in the curiosity of those new to dance in Boston or new to dance in general by maintaining an open\, inclusive and accessible community. \nFollow us on Instagram: @the.click.boston
