As part of the digital exhibition, The Abyss of the Ocean: Cuban Women Photographers, Migrations, and the Question of Race, this special Curators in Conversation public program brings together art critics and curators Suset Sánchez and Aldeide Delgado (Guest Curator of The Abyss of the Ocean: Cuban Women Photographers, Migrations, and the Question of Race) to discuss a history of institutional and independent exhibitions that address the problem of race and racism in Cuba. Guided by discussions on curatorial activism, Sánchez and Delgado will discuss the challenges that Cuban curators face within the current socio-political landscape and the use of social media as a space for civil imagination. CCCADI Executive Director Melody Capote will make Welcome Remarks, Curator-at-Large Grace Aneiza Ali will offer Introductions, and Curatorial Fellow Jasmine Chavez Helm, will serve as the Respondent. Registration is required.

The event will be in Spanish. Simultaneous interpretation into English will be provided.
