Queloides: Race and Racism in Cuban Contemporary Art: A Roundtable with Visual Artists

10-18-10-queloides-smQueloides/Keloids is an art exhibit that seeks to contribute to current debates about the persistence of racism in contemporary Cuba and elsewhere in the world.

The twelve artists invited to participate are renowned for their critical work on issues of race, discrimination, and identity.

Four of the artists - Marta María Pérez Bravo, René Peña, Armando Mariño and Elio Rodríguez - will join Professor Ana Dopico (NYU Spanish and Portuguese) in a roundtable discussion.
