Fifty artists showcase women in a collective exhibition in Cuba

Havana.- A total of 63 artists from Cuba and countries such as Argentina, Spain, and Mexico highlight the fight against gender violence from multiple approaches in the collective exhibition ‘I was also another: MásCaras‘, inaugurated this Wednesday in Havana. The exhibition, organized in the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, “aims to be a tribute to the women who, historically, had to use pseudonyms to publish their works,” explained 3, who shares the curatorship with art critic Alay Fuentes. Pedraza, who also exhibits with a photograph, added that “the tribute is from a contemporary perspective, through photographs, paintings and performances“. “It’s about the masks they had to wear in order to transcend,” added the young artist.

‘I was also another: MásCaras’, driven by the cultural artistic entrepreneurship Women’s Society, will remain for a month at the National Office of Industrial Design in Havana. The collective exhibition respects the project’s vision of combining established artists such as the Cuban Zaida del Río (National Prize for Plastic Arts 2023), with other newcomers like the photographers Vida Winter and Claudia Raymat.
