Exhibition May 9 – June 5, 2017 | Havana: Significations

Significations frames contemporary imaginations of Africa as a subject of conversation among artists from all over the Atlantic World. It extends a previous exhibition ReSignifications, that opened in Florence, Italy, in 2015. Significations builds on the curatorial narrative of ReSignifications by staging works in which African and African diasporic conventions of theme and style inscribe such ideas as subjectivity, citizenship, and spirituality into the larger, trans-African world of art-making.

Significations will be based at the Provincial Center of Plastic Arts & Design in Havana between May 9th and June 5th.
