Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons: NOTES ON SUGAR

January 25 to May 5, 2018
Christian-Green Gallery

Notes on Sugar: The Work of Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, uses the history of sugar to unpack the United States’ (U.S.) complex relationship with Cuba. Campos-Pons, one of the most celebrated living artists to emerge from post-Revolutionary Cuba, uses sculptural installations, video and works on paper to examine the transatlantic slave trade, Cuba’s crumbling sugar trade, and the socioeconomic and political impact on the descendants of enslaved Africans living in Cuba and the U.S.
