My Own Past

By centering the visual production of Cuban artists of African descent from the 19th century to the present for the first time, El Pasado Mío / My Own Past seeks to highlight the racialized understandings that have informed the traditional canon.
The Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African & African American Art invites new approaches, much-needed new research, by showcasing a group of artists who have never been exhibited together, including some who have received very limited attention from art historians, critics, and collectors. The aim is to understand Cuba’s pasts through their lives, experiences, and artistic production and to get close to their own pasts.
