The island geography and political intensity of Cuba inform the work in a way that is immediately identifiable\, often concealing coded\, even subversive\, ideas while simultaneously celebrating the richness of Cuba’s cultural identity. Peeling away the layers of Cuban art often reveals a story of struggle caused by the US embargo and its economic and political consequences\, the social upheaval that a true revolution produces. \nSpanning several generations\, these contemporary Cuban artists come from an unusual place: a country embargoed by our own because of its socialist revolution. All of the artists in this collection grew up in socialist Cuba\, and many graduated from the prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte\, built at the beginning of the revolution\, Havana’s equally excellent San Alejandro Art Academy or the Escuela Nacional de Arte. Others graduated from local art schools. Despite their disparate backgrounds\, aesthetic sensibilities\, subject matter\, materials\, and styles\, there is something uniquely Cuban about the art in this collection. \nMid-America Arts Allliance co-organized Arte Cubano with the Center for Cuban Studies (NYC) to synthesize two extraordinary private collections held by Kathy and Marc LeBaron and Karen and Robert Duncan. This exhibition could not have been made possible without their collecting vision and loan generosity. The Center for Cuban Studies opened in 1972 and was organized by a group of scholars\, writers\, artists\, and other professionals\, in response to the effects of US policy toward Cuba. \nA Program of ExhibitsUSA\, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance and The National Endowment for the Arts. \nExhibition Sponsor: \nPREVIEW PARTY\nFRIDAY\, NOVEMBER 30\n5:30 PM – 8 PM \nPROFESSOR SILVIA PREDRAZA LECTURE – 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM \nSilvia Pedraza\, Professor of Sociology and American Culture at the University of Michigan\, will speak on generational politics\, tracing shifts and differences in the attitudes and experiences of Cuban islanders and those who left. Meet in the KAC Library. \nSALSA DANCE PARTY – 6:30 PM – 8 PM \nSalsa was born in Cuba\, built on Afro-Cuban rhythms and earlier dance forms like són.

Drawing on photographs from over fifty photographers\, these personal and often poetic post-war views unveil not only another side to the devastating effects of war\, but also tell the stories of people coming together to rebuild and heal. Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story illumines and defines our humanity while giving visibility to those coping with the lingering ramifications of conflict. \nThe exhibition is a ten-year retrospective of the work of the groundbreaking documentary photography program The Aftermath Project. Founded to help change the way the media covers conflict – and to educate the public about the true cost of war and the real price of peace – The Aftermath Project has discovered some of the most groundbreaking photojournalists in the world – as well as internationally acclaimed photographers Stanley Greene\, Nina Berman\, Davide Monteleone\, Justyna Mielnikiewicz\, and Jim Goldberg\, among many others – working on post-conflict themes. \nThe end of war does not mean peace. It is simply the end of war\, the end of death and destruction. Every story of war includes a chapter that almost always goes untold – the story of the aftermath\, which day by day becomes the prologue of the future.  Sara Terry (Founder of The Aftermath Project) \nAftermath: War Is Only Half the Story originated by The Aftermath Project\, Los Angeles\, and toured by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions\, Pasadena\, California. \nAFTERMATH OPENING PARTY  \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 8 \n6 – 8 PM \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nCelebrate the opening of this new exhibition in the Krasl Art Center galleries and meet Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story curator\, Sara Terry. \nThe Collective of Benton Harbor will walk guests through a calming breath and yoga sequence throughout the evening\, and be able to answer questions on how breath control can aid in your personal journey with conflict. \nSmall bites from Bistro on the Boulevard and a cash bar available. \nPANEL DISCUSSION HOSTED BY AFTERMATH CURATOR\, SARA TERRY \nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 9 \n10 AM – 12 PM \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nSave the date!  Join Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story curator\, Sara Terry\, who will lead an engaging panel discussion with community members on the themes covered in this exhibition.
