Film Club
Screening and Discussion of Dialogues with Artists in Cuba by IFA exhibiting artist Duff Shweninger and artist Conrad Gleber
Thursday, November 12 | 7–8:30 PM | FREE
All are welcome (Advisory: some adult content)
Following the 53-minute screening, Schweninger and Gleber will lead a then-and-now discussion about the current state of the arts in Cuba with Abel Barroso, a contemporary Cuban artist, sculptor, and master printmaker who is one of the artists featured in the film. Barroso will be participating via zoom.
“For us, going to Cuba meant exploring a forbidden place. Our purpose was not to serve any preconceived political agenda, but to communicate with these artists on a personal level…[by capturing] the quality of the artwork and the dedication these artists expressed to make a difference in their life in Cuba. They make art that pushes at the edge of their culture to benefit their personal and social life. They use subject matter in personal ways, adapting complex issues of an emerging culture that is specific to life in Cuba and at the same time expresses a global view of life on the planet.”—Conrad Gleber and Duff Schweninger
