Dr. Jasmine Chohan, Assistant Curator of Contemporary British Art at the Tate Britain will present a lecture in conjunction with Layered Lives exploring how Cuban women artists, since the 1990s, have developed new artistic approaches that engaged with questions of materiality, spirituality, migration, ecology and historical memory. Through the work of artists including Belkis Ayón, Sandra Ramos, Mabel Poblet, Rocío García and Aimée García, she'll examine how feminist practices emerged not only through the inscription of women as subjects in art, but through an intersectional revision of women's experience with colonialism, the environment and the politics of identity. The lecture argues that these artists have developed new visual vocabularies through which to reimagine contemporary Cuba from a fluid perspective, one that understands place not as a single locale but as constituted through transnational borders and oceanic materialities. A free reception will follow the lecture. The Harn is open until 9 pm for Art After Dark on this evening providing an opportunity for attendees to view the Layered Lives exhibition. This lecture is supported by the UF Center for Latin American Studies, UF Center for Gender, Sexualities, and Women's Studies Research , UF International Center and UF Center for Arts, Migration + Entrepreneurship.
