As part of our WOMAN IN THE ART program, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas in Kendall has prepared the collective exhibition “A mí me manda Carmen”‘”: a tribute to the Cuban artist Carmen Herrera who passed away a year ago in New York City, where she lived for a large part of her life.
A group of Latina women artists have decided to pay a small tribute to her memory, her life, and her example. Cuban artists living in South Florida, other cities around the world, and in Havana, where Carmen was born on May 31, 1915, share their pieces with the public in Kendall and Miami-Dade County. The exhibition ‘Carmen Sends Me’ has been curated by the artist and guest curator Monica Batard, also a participant, and will be inaugurated in the first days of March 2023.
Among the invited artists, we highlight the presence of Cirenaica Moreira, Sandra Ceballos, Rocio Garcia, Lia Galleti, Marta Maria Perez, Lorena Gutierrez, and many others who freely share their vision, their perception of contemporaneity from the feminine perspective, partly thanks to predecessors like Carmen who broke down the barriers of her time so that today art created by women can be exhibited with complete freedom in most of the exhibition spaces in the United States and the rest of the world.
Curators Monica Batar and Jorge Rodriguez Diez.
