Cuba. Tatuare la storia at PAC Milan Surveys Cuban Art Since the 1980s
The PAC in Milan is currently hosting an exhibition titled "Cuba. Tatuare la storia," which offers a comprehensive look at modern Cuban art from the mid-1980s up to now. Curated by Diego Sileo and Giacomo Zaza, it kicks off with Humberto Díaz's installation in the courtyard. Following that, you'll find Luis Gómez Armenteros's piece "Un sueño sifi," which critiques how Western cultures commodify different societies. Other notable works include Tony Labat's "Dialectic IV," referencing Diego Rivera's first mural in the U.S. The show highlights the diversity of Cuban art, featuring artists like Raul Martinez and Tania Bruguera, while exploring themes such as identity and social issues.
