0 out of 5

£7.00

Lecture five will look at the way in which the fall of Berlin Wall and the start of the Periodo Especial affected Cuban Art. It will focus on artists that were producing work in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many artists were either censored or fled the island as a result of economic instability caused by the fall of the Soviet Union. This lecture will focus on artists who continued to produce during this period of adversity and the way they focused on either political criticism or themes of migration. The lecture will look at the works of Sandra Ramos, José Toirac, Los Carpinteros, Kcho and Abel Barroso.

This is the fifth talk of Cuban Art series (5 classes in total) which is designed as an exciting journey through the history of art of the region.
