Campos-Pons Show in Austin, TX, through May 3

Posted in News

Notes on Sugar: The Work of María Magdalena Campos-Pons is on view at the Christian- Green Gallery, 221 E. 21st St., Austin, TX, through May 3. Curated by the Neon Queen Collective, the exhibition “uses the history of sugar to unpack the United States’ (U.S.) complex relationship with Cuba. Campos-Pons, one of the most celebrated living artists to emerge from post-Revolutionary Cuba, uses sculptural installations, video and works on paper to examine the transatlantic slave trade, Cuba’s crumbling sugar trade, and the socioeconomic and political impact on the descendants of enslaved Africans living in Cuba and the U.S.

Magda’s Prospectus project, with Neil Leonard, was FeFa.
