On May 9, 2019, the Cuban Heritage Collection held a reception and a panel discussion at the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion in conjunction with the exhibition, "Illuminating Women: Representations and Narratives from Ediciones Vigía." The presentation focused on artists' books, photographs, drawings, letters, and other materials related to the visual arts.
The Vigía materials on view in the Pavilion's exhibit gallery provided a context to the conversation on the topics of representation, gender, curating, and artistic practice.
This event was co-sponsored by Florida International University's Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center.
