The Soñando en Color project will function as an Artists panel discussion, Art Exhibition, and youth cultural exchange program in Cuba this May in conjunction with the Havana Biennial.
 
This project will examine the response that Afro-Diasporan artists have to the socio-cultural climate and history of Cuba. The project seeks to explore the cultural footprint that Contemporary Cuba has made on the world, how people of African descent have reacted to this influence, and how that information relates to the world’s current socio-economic and political transitions. 
 
A portion of the proceeds raised for this project will be used to enhance the technological education of the children's art program at El Centro Experimental de Artes Visuals, the host gallery for the Soñando en Color exhibit in Havana Cuba. The remainder of the funds raised will be used to support the exhibition and children’s art workshop.
 
Brooklyn art incubator is the organizer of this event. Brooklyn Art Incubator Inc. is a US 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Donations can also be made on the donation page of brooklynartincubator.org

The Art of Living (Quote)

18638_262851023257_514878257_3

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”    – L.P Jack
