This event, which is part of the Cuban Arts Festival, organized by the Cuban Artists Fund in partnership with El Instituto Cervantes, is also supported by The Cintas Foundation.

The Cintas prize finalists will be announced at an opening reception at the Americas Society on June 6, 2005 and exhibited throughout June.
American Hunger: The Avant-Garde in Cuba, A lecture by Curator Rocío Aranda-Alvarado.
This presentation will discuss the Cuban avant-garde of the 1920s and its influence on art movements in later periods. It will also consider the relationship of this early movement to similar movements that were occurring simultaneously elsewhere in the Americas. Movements such as Cubanismo in Havana will be explored in relation to the Harlem Renaissance, Antropofagia in Brazil and to later movements developed by Cuban artists of the 1940s.
Rocío Aranda-Alvarado is the curator at the Jersey City Museum, where she organizes exhibitions of historical and contemporary art, based on the permanent collection and on work by both established and emerging American artists. She is currently working on a retrospective of the work and ideas of Rafael Montañez Ortiz and another group show titled Tropicalisms: Subversions of Paradise.
