Courtesy of Catherine Merrill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How many art pieces will be in the exhibition?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have 25 pieces of Cuban art in the show. There are eight Cuban artists, and I wanted each person to be able to show at least a couple of pieces. You get a much better sense of a person if you can see two pieces. The only one I don\u2019t have two pieces of is Xene, but it\u2019s a multi-piece wall ceramic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you talk about some of the pieces?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have two Alberto Lescay prints of the same size, one is called \u201cViaje luz,\u201d (Voyage of light)\u2026and in that one there\u2019s a sense of hope. The \u201cCimarr\u00f3n\u201d (runaway Cuban slaves) was done in 2005. That was a year when things got way, way worse with the Bush administration. Lescay said, \u201cWe are all Cimarr\u00f3nes, who are still trying to fight for our freedom.\u201d Another is a print by Nelson Dominguez called \u201cMujer con abanico.\u201d And I have two large prints by Israel Tamayo, one of them called \u201cTravesuras.\u201d And the wall piece by Jose Vasquez Xene is called \u201cLas Mujeres.\u201d It\u2019s an amazing piece; he created it in Canada after bringing all of these little molds from Cuba. There are four panels and a center panel is a bleeding heart, and it&#8217;s dedicated to the victims of 9-11. And the last piece of Cuban art that I think is so important is by Xiomara Gutierrez. Her piece is \u201cReflejo de la naturaleza.\u201d A theme in her art is ecology, and how man has a negative effect on our environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Cuba-Exhibit_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-28863\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Cuba-Exhibit_01web.jpg?resize=343%2C480&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cuba Exhibit_01web\" width=\"343\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Cuba-Exhibit_01web.jpg?resize=343%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 343w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Cuba-Exhibit_01web.jpg?resize=179%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 179w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Cuba-Exhibit_01web.jpg?w=576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><\/a>Will the displayed pieces be up for sale? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of them [will]. Some of the pieces have been given to me as gifts, and I just wouldn\u2019t feel the same without them. But the majority I\u2019ve also been given on consignment by the artists to exhibit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0How did you come to be the curator of Cuba Libre?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2009, it was the pinnacle of my career with Cuba, with three very important shows in the Boston area: Fuller Craft, MassART and the Laconia Gallery. Earlier this year, I went back east to a family reunion, and my sister arranged a meeting with the current director of the Fuller Craft Museum, Jonathan Fairbanks. A month later in July we started getting these exciting notices about Obama opening diplomatic relations. So I thought this is the time to have another Cuba show in San Francisco\u2014my last and only \u201cBeyond the Embargo\u201d show in San Francisco was in 2006.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From 2002-2009, you\u2019ve traveled extensively to and from Cuba. When did you first visit the island? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m somebody that came of age during the \u201860s. It was a climate where art and politics were totally mixed up. And friends of mine from Harvard were organizing what turned out to be the second trip to Cuba in 1965 to protest the travel ban. And I thought, \u201cWell that sounds exciting. I guess I\u2019ll go along.\u201d And it was life changing. It was one of those experiences where you step from one world into another. It was very Soviet dominated \u2026 but there was this total freedom. There was this discovery and freedom and art was so wrapped up to it. The Cubans have always been so experimental in the arts, so free, so bold, and of such high quality. Given all of these hardships, they\u2019re the best at everything. The quality of art was so impressive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is the show being received by the Cuban artists? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was so lucky, I was able to work with the top artists in the country. And it was an incredible opportunity. One of the gifts of doing this show, is realizing how much I was appreciated. In (one) published Cuban article\u2014it makes me cry\u2014they called me \u201cQuerida incansable.\u201d It was very, very moving. Israel Tamayo, he\u2019s not a fuzzy person. He sent me two emails that basically said, \u201cNow everybody wants to be on the Cuban bandwagon, everybody wants to work with Cuban artists, we\u2019re inundated. You however were traveling all of these years, \u2018desafiando su gobierno,\u2019 and what sets us apart is that we are continuing what we\u2019ve already done, and what we\u2019ve been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a1Cuba Libre! \u2013 An Exhibition of Cuban and American Ceramics, Prints &amp; Photographs premieres Saturday, Jan. 16 at the Juan R.
