The posters in this section depict iconic aspects of Cuban culture. Two posters reference Cuba\u2019s nineteenth-century history in an effort to draw attention to current issues. Likewise, the five prints collectively titled Chill\u2019ndron <\/em>by the artists\u2019 collective Mamey studio de dise\u00f1o (Mamey Design Studio) reference a traditional Cuban meal of goat meat. Produced in 2016 specifically for this exhibition, Mamey\u2019s prints focus on the intersections between traditional printing processes and contemporary illustration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em> This poster illustrates a key element of a short, 2015 film by director Ernesto S\u00e1nchez Vald\u00e9s. The movie explores the time-honored Cuban tradition of creating busts and statues of Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed, Cuba\u2019s National Hero, writer, and advocate for Cuban independence. Today, small mass-produced plastic sculptures multiply Mart\u00ed\u2019s image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026y vol\u00f3 como Mat\u00edas P\u00e9rez<\/em>\u201d or \u201che flew away like Matias P\u00e9rez\u201d
is a common Cuban expression used to describe someone disappearing quickly or without a trace. In the mid-19th century, P\u00e9rez, a Portuguese merchant and inventor, rose into the sky and disappeared in a hot air balloon in front of thousands of observers. Here Claudio Sotolongo visualizes the phrase but substitutes a paper airplane for the hot air balloon.

The poster is a commentary on the risks of migration. The U.S. embargo and the economic crisis in Cuba led to a migration crisis that peaked in 1994 and that has had a sensitive and profound impact on many Cuban families. By 2010, the Cuban migration situation was fragile, yet for those who said goodbye to friends and loved ones it was definitive.
