DESCRIPTION:The primary objective of The African in the Making of Cuban Ar
 t is to seamlessly blend African cultural concepts into an understanding o
 f the evolution of Cuban art. This ambitious goal is achieved by delving i
 nto the core artistic principles that have permeated various African civil
 izations\, notably the Kongo and Yoruba traditions\, and are now integral 
 to Cuban art. The book aims to strike a balance in the ongoing discourse a
 bout the trajectory of Cuban art\, which has primarily been shaped by West
 ern art history. It does so by adopting a measured approach to the legacy 
 of African belief systems\, critical issues\, and aesthetic choices\, ther
 eby acknowledging their profound significance in the development of a uniq
 ue Cuban art.\n\nBárbaro Martínez-Ruiz is an art historian specializing 
 in contemporary art\, rupestrian art\, comparative religion\, visual cultu
 re\, and African art history. He is the author of Kongo Graphic Writing an
 d Other Narratives of the Sign (Philadelphia: Temple University Press\, 20
 12) and Faisal Abdu’Allah: The Art of Dislocation (Las Palmas de Gran Ca
 narias: Centro Atlántico de Art Moderno\, 2012)\, and Green Machine: The 
 Art of Carlos Luna(Oaxaca - México: Editora El Museo de los Pintores Oaxa
 queños\, 2016).\n\nWith drinks reception after.\n\nSpeakers:\nBárbaro Ma
