Lynn Simmons. She said black women in New Orleans and Havana have plenty in
common. The CalArts Center for New Performance graduate student from New Orleans
said she finds the strong cultural resistance during the African diaspora
fascinating. The actress is working on "Afro Futuro," a collaboration with
Cubans that she described as "a photo, video and live performance installation
that explores the mythologies and realities of black women and Afro-Cuban
women.""
Cuban and American Artists Unite at Centro Cultural Español in Miami, Florida on
December 1 11/2/2016 : "For El Acercamiento/The Approach, events in Havana,
Los Angeles and Miami challenge Cuban and American artists to envision possible
futures between the two countries. In Havana, the current process of
normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States is termed “el
acercamiento,” the slow and cautious act of getting closer. With El
Acercamiento/The Approach, Cuban and American artists create their own forms of
diplomacy as they explore relations between the two nations."
