In concert with its upcoming Under the Cuban Sun exhibition, the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) will explore the nuanced history and culture of Cuba with an open-mic night on Nov. 3.
The open-mic night, titled Voices of Cuba, is open to the public. Anyone with an authentic testimony about Cuba or Cuban culture is invited to share. Presenters from all cultures and backgrounds are invited to participate. All forms of storytelling are welcome. Poetry, songs, anecdotes, personal mementos, letters, recipes, objects, and of course, photographs are a few examples of things that guests can share. Guests are encouraged to arrive early so they can visit FMoPA’s Under the Cuban Sun Exhibition before the event begins.
Under the Cuban Sun is a black-and-white photographic exploration of Cuba from the 1930s to today. Generously sponsored by Susie and Mitchell Rice and Stanton Storer, the exhibition will be on view in the secondfloor galleries from Sept. 22-Dec. 21.
Voices of Cuba will be held at the museum from 5-7pm on Nov. 3. The event is free for members. A regular admission price of $10 will apply for not-yet members.
