Guáimaro, January 11th — "Origins: Diaspora, Cosmology, Rituality in this Caribbean that Unites Us" is the title of the exhibition open to the public at the Guáimaro Municipal Art Gallery.
The exhibition, bearing the distinctive mark of designer, artist, and communicator José Armán from Guáimaro, now residing in southern Chile, can be admired throughout the month of January. It offers an opportunity to enjoy a sensory and reflective journey through the historical and spiritual roots that define the identity of the Caribbean.
In each pictorial suggestion converge the power of color, the richness of textures, and the symbolism of materials, all capable of creating a powerful visual discourse about collective memory.
"Origins: Diaspora, Cosmology, Rituality in this Caribbean that Unites Us" is an emerging exhibition encompassing a vast tradition contained within centuries of rituality and religious symbolism, of exploitation and maroonage. African kingdoms and their Caribbean settlements in secret brotherhoods, cabildos, and fraternities.
A graduate of the Faculty of Communication at the University of Havana, José Armán has conducted several research projects at the Casa de África and Casa de Las Américas regarding Black identity, its culture, and reality.
His work in the field of sustainable art and design has been exhibited on major international stages and has served as study material for the Faculty of Art at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
