Past: Cuba: A Panel Discussion

In conjunction with the “Arte Cubano” exhibition, Southeast faculty Dr. Debbie Lee-Distefano and Dr. Kimberly Louie will facilitate a discussion on the art and history of the people of Cuba.

The evening will include a presentation of the life and works of Afro-Cuban artistic Wilfredo Lam and a screening of the documentary film “Buena Vista Social Club,” directed by Wim Wenders. The film follows the journey of Ry Cooder through Cuba on a quest to rediscover a group of musicians in order to tell their story, film their performances together and capture the music of the island. Sponsored by the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum.
