This exhibition of twenty-five mixed-media and installation artworks traces Diago’s vibrant career from the mid-1990s, when he began to construct a revisionist history of the Cuban nation from the experience of a person of African descent. It is a history of enslavement and cultural loss, but also of resilience and recovery, the kind of history that is required in this Afro-Cuban present.<br> </h3><h3><strong>Exhibition Reception </strong><br>Wednesday, 1 Feb 2017 6pm<br><br><strong>In Conversation: </strong><strong>Roberto Diago </strong><strong>with </strong><br><strong>Curator, </strong><strong>Alejandro de la Fuente </strong><br>Friday, Feb 3, 12 noon The Cooper Gallery</h3><h3>Co-sponsored by the Cuban Studies Program, David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies</h3><p> </p><p><a data-title='Opening Reception: "Diago: The Pasts of This Afro-Cuban Present"' data-url="http://hutchinscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events-lectures/events/february-1-2017-600pm/opening-reception-diago-pasts-afro-cuban-present">Share</a></p><hr><p><a href="http://www.coopergalleryhc.org/new-events/">MORE INFO</a></p><p> </p>
