Drapetomania Exhibit Opening Reception

Drapetomanía: Grupo Antillano and the Art of Afro-Cuba

A forgotten visual arts and cultural movement that thrived briefly between 1978 and 1983, Grupo Antillano articulated a vision of Cuban culture that privileged the importance of Africa and Afro-Caribbean influences in the formation of the Cuban nation. The art of Grupo Antillano belongs to a long tradition of Caribbean resistance and cultural cimarronaje, a tradition that lives on in the work of the younger contemporary artists who also participate in this exhibit.

This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Cooper Gallery and the ARTS@David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies.

Held at the Cooper Gallery, 102 Mount Auburn St., Cambridge, MA. 02138

Admission is free and open to the public
