Diago: The Pasts of this Afro-Cuban Present

Hosted by: The Cooper Gallery

“Diago: The Pasts of This Afro-Cuban Present,” the United States’ first serious and systematic look at Cuba’s most prominent contemporary artist Juan Roberto Diago and his prolific body of work. Diago is a leading member of the new Afro-Cuban cultural movement, which has denounced the persistence of racism and discrimination in Cuban society. This exhibition of 25 mixed-media and installation works traces Diago’s vibrant career from the mid-1990s, when he began to construct a revisionist history of the Cuban nation from the experience of a person of African descent. It is a history of enslavement and cultural loss, but also of resilience and recovery.”

When: 10am- 5pm

Where: Ethelbert Cooper Gallery | 102 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA

Rewriting Your Story

Hosted by: Dudley Cafe

“”Rewriting Your Story” is an interactive, faith-based workshop focused on self-love and exploring how your past experiences influence your current mindset. Through storytelling, applied resources, biblical references, and facilitated dialogue, Tamika will help you to identify how your “old story” impacts your daily emotions, behaviors, decisions and relationships. Most importantly, you will learn practical strategies to implement Christian principles (e.g., self-worth, forgiveness) to enhance the spiritual process of renewing your mind and “rewriting” your narrative to reflect God’s love for YOU!”
