In an ongoing effort to redefine Cuban culture as less static and something that keeps modernizing and evolving, the Cuban Art Space prides itself on exhibiting work by young artists. This new exhibit at this Chelsea art space focuses on work done by Cubans after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990, a time in which Cubans had to re-identify themselves culturally as well as politically. These artists focused on the reinterpretation of their heritage, as something more personal and less universal. It’s less abanicos and fruit baskets, less of the stuff you’d find hanging in your Abuela’s living room.
