AJIACO: Stirrings of the Cuban Soul is focused on that which serves as a source for all of Latin American art – its spirituality. It engages the visitor as they view, participate in, watch and listen to the roots of Cuban culture from its sources in Africa, Asia, Spain, China, and indigenous culture. Cuban art today embraces and visualizes the very nature of the Cuban soul. This is the subject of Ajiaco. The art combines the tales of the Orishas of Africa with Chinese calligraphy, the environment and feminist issues. The formats change, the materials vary, but the element that remains constant between the Cuban and Cuban-American artists is a commitment to the visualization of the syncretistic mix that is Cuban culture.
