Introduction

Sandra Ramos lives and works between Havana & Miami. Through a compelling visual dialogue, Ramos has gained an international reputation by expressing her personal relationship to Cuba's political and social realities. We can find in her art, references to familiar characters from literature, history, and folklore. Your visit starts with a tour by the Studio and a detailed explanation of Sandra Ramos Art. After, you will print a small xylography made from one of Sandra´s artwork which you will keep as a token of your visit. While the print is drying, we will have a brief interchange over soft drink / coffee about Sandra´s work.

What we will do

We will visit the studio of one of Cuba's contemporary artists–Sandra Ramos. We'll learn about the specific references to familiar characters taken from literature, history, and folklore that appear in her works. We'll also create a small xylographic (woodblock) print made from one of Ramos's works for you to keep as a token of your visit. We'll end with drinks and a chat about her work and how it fits into contemporary Cuban art.

What I'll provide

• Drinks and coffee
• Materials to make a print made from a xylographic matrix from Sandra´s work
