(Coral Gables Museum – June 26, 2019) This lecture offers an unprecedented approach to the woman’s role as a modernizing force of Cuban society with a focus on the scenario marked by the existence of the Photographic Club of Cuba between 1935 and 1962.
The information results from the research process developed by the project Catalog of Cuban Women Photographers. Conceived in 2013 by curator Aldeide Delgado, Catalog of Cuban Women Photographers aims to document and recognize the insufficiently known information about women photographers in Cuba. It is a platform aimed at investigating the women who contributed to the development of Cuban photography, the historical conditions of their artistic participation, and the topics of their works; beginning in 1853 with the recovery of the first Cuban female photographer to the present.
