SEE: BELKIS AYON EXHIBIT AT EL MUSEO

NKAME: A Retrospective of Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ayón On View June 13 – November 5, 2017.  This landmark retrospective is the first in the U.S. dedicated to the work of Belkis Ayón (1967–1999)—the late Cuban visual artist who mined the founding myth of the Afro-Cuban fraternal society Abakuá to create an independent and powerful visual iconography. Ayón was known for her signature technique of collography, a printing process in which materials of various textures and absorbencies are collaged onto a cardboard matrix and then run through the press with paper.  More details can be found at the El Museo website: LINK
