Event Calendar

Internationally renowned Cuban artist Nelson Ramírez de Arellano, director of the Cuban national photography archive in Havana, opens Lawrence University’s newest art exhibition with a discussion of the show “The Light in Cuban Eyes: Selections from the Madeleine P. Plonsker Collection of Contemporary Cuban Photography.” Shot in styles described as “ranging from fabulist to gritty,” the exhibition features photographs taken between 1992-2012, a difficult period in Cuba’s history following the loss of financial support from the former Soviet Union. A reception with the artist will follow the talk. Free and open to the public.
