This Miami Dade College project is a photographic documentation of the Cuban artist community that was formed in South Florida in the early sixties, and that continues to incorporate new members arriving constantly in search of artistic freedom of expression. It is composed of 100 portraits of Cuban artists whose work is contributing to define the image of Miami as a center for contemporary art both in the United States and in the international scene. Carlos Manuel Cárdenes’s 100 photographs of the Cuban art Diaspora are re-appropriating cultural icons that raise vital questions about relationships between cultures, about representation of culture and its meaning, and about connections between intention, expectation, and content. Cárdenes’s images, created from faces and portraits, backgrounds and spaces acquired from each artist’s personal landscapes, become pictures with no owner, which may also belong to the world of someone else. Faces is one hundred visual stories, metaphors that tell us about unique artists, immortality and representation. An unparalleled history of unexplored richness of Cuban and American contemporary culture, Cárdenes’s photographs are a tribute to the resilience and vitality of artists from Cuba outside its borders.
