Havana, Dec. 9 - The Her Car Art Gallery (Calzada de 10 de Octubre at the corner of Porvenir, Arroyo Naranjo) will open its doors tomorrow, Wednesday, at 11:00 a.m. to host the traveling exhibition “Gaza,” a poignant and necessary tribute on Human Rights Day.
According to the National Council of Visual Arts (CNAP), the exhibition was curated jointly by Palestinian artist Fadi About Hassan and National Humor Prize winner Arístides Hernández (Ares).
The CNAP adds that the exhibition responds to a call made by the aforementioned figures on the occasion of the 24th edition of the San Antonio de los Baños Graphic Humor Biennial, which immediately received responses from more than 50 visual artists from 30 countries.
After the initial presentation at the Galería 23 y 12, "Gaza" arrives at Her Car in a smaller version, featuring works by 27 artists from different countries that give the exhibition a significant variety of aesthetics and styles in a song of solidarity with Palestine.
Each work in the exhibition, the CNAP maintains, validates the fact that graphic humor can, and should, address tragedy and violence; denounce genocide and media manipulation; and reaffirm the role of art as a powerful tool for keeping awareness alive, challenging impunity, and ratify the right to life.
