Arte Cubano

Cuba, Portrait of a Revolution

This exhibition features ninety-five limited edition fine art prints that were created in 2003 by the late Cuban artist Antonio Canet Hernandez (1942–2008) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Fidel Castro-led attack on the Moncada military barracks, considered by many to be the symbolic opening salvo to the Cuban Revolution.

Our People, Our Land, Our Images

This photographic exhibition features the work of indigenous artists from North America, Peru, Iraq, and New Zealand. The exhibition is distinctive in its historical reach, including newly discovered 19th-century trailblazers, members of the next generation of emerging photographers, and well established contemporary practitioners.

Imprinting the West: Manifest Destiny, Real and Imagined

Westward expansion was one of the most transformational elements in American life throughout the nineteenth century. Printed imagery played an important role in the dissemination of knowledge and understanding about the West and those who inhabited it. Featuring hand-colored engravings and lithographs, the exhibition explores these depictions and the influence artists had on the West’s perception.

Through Darkness to Light: Photographs Along the Underground Railroad

Photographer Jeanine Michna-Bales has spent more than a decade meticulously researching “fugitive” slaves and the ways they escaped to freedom. The path she documented encompasses roughly 2,000 miles and is based off of actual sites, cities, and places that freedom-seekers passed through during their journey.

Traditional Arts of the Bedouin

The exhibition includes fifty artworks and artifacts, from embroidered textiles and embellished metalwork to ceremonial coffee accouterments and incense burners; as well as several photographs depicting Bedouin craftspersons at work. The very essence of the Bedouin culture is understood through its impermanence–with constant movement across the sands of both time and space.

Blake Little: Photographs from the Gay Rodeo

Consisting of 41 black-and-white photographs taken between 1988 and 1992, the selected images document the gay rodeo circuit and the lives of many of its participants in those years. The collected body of work not only serves as a stunning example of black-and- white portraiture and rodeo photography, it also explores the diverse and complex natures of individual and community identity in the West.

WAR-TOYS: Israel, West Bank, and Gaza Strip

Brian McCarty’s photographic works interpret children’s drawings and offer a rare yet fascinating insight into the contemporary experiences of Palestinian and Israeli boys and girls.
