A mí me manda Carmen: EXHIBITION PAYING TRIBUTE TO CARMEN HERRERA MARCH 10 - APRIL 28 | 2023

As part of the WOMEN IN ARTS Program, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas in Kendall opened the collective exhibition A mí me manda Carmen (Carmen Sends Me) on Friday, March 10, 2023, as a heartfelt tribute to the Cuban artist Carmen Herrera, who passed away just over a year ago in New York City. Following a call by curator Mónica Batard, a select group of Latina artists decided to pay homage to Herrera's memory, life, and example. These Cuban artists, who reside in South Florida, Havana, and other cities around the world, share their works with the public in Kendall and Miami-Dade County.Among the invited artists, we highlight the presence of Cirenaica Moreira, Sandra Ceballos, Rocío García, Lia Galleti, Marta María Pérez, Lorena Gutiérrez, Aimée Pérez, Gladys Triana, and many others who freely share their vision and perception of contemporaneity from a feminine perspective, in part thanks to predecessors like Herrera, who broke down the barriers of her time so that today, art created by women can be exhibited with complete freedom in most exhibition spaces in the United States and the rest of the world.Today, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas makes available to art lovers the catalog that captures the memories of this memorable exhibition.
