In celebration of MU's upcoming Afro-Cuban Legacies conference, enjoy a free screening of "Diago: A Maroon Artist" (2013, 27 minutes with English subtitles), presented by its director, University of Missouri professor Juanamaría Cordones-Cook. Q&A to follow the film. Adults and teens.

In celebration of MU's upcoming Afro-Cuban Legacies conference, enjoy a free screening of "Diago: A Maroon Artist" (2013, 27 minutes with English subtitles). Presented by its director, University of Missouri professor Juanamaría Cordones-Cook, the film follows prominent multimedia artist, Juan Roberto Diago (1972), who employs discarded materials he finds in his neighborhood. Diago understands the creative possibilities of recycling and bricolage, and also enriches his images by juxtaposing graffiti with racially contesting implications. He has labeled himself a “maroon artist," and his work results in “cultural resistance.” In this documentary, Diago openly discusses issues of race and poverty in contemporary Cuba, as well as their representation in his paintings and installations.

A Q&A session will follow the film.

Adults and teens.
