Organized by the Permanent Mission of the Republic Cuba to the UN and other international organisation in Geneva
About the exhibition:
The Permanent Mission of Cuba will hold a painting exhibition in the Mezzanine, Palais des Nations, from 5 to 14 November 2018, with an opening event on 9 November at 5pm.
The painting exhibition consists of artworks by Havana-born Cuban artist Ms. Dayami Hayek, who currently resides in Lausanne. Her paintings represent a variety of social issues facing our world, including women’s rights, and human rights, the environment, diversity, disarmament, access to resources, and youth.
The opening of the exhibition will consist of a cultural evening at the exhibition space, in order to guests to view the artworks, as well as experience tastes of Cuban culture. This will include food, drinks (rum tasting), a display of Cuban cigars, and background music played by a small group of local musicians. The group, called “Lily Moré y Soneroson", includes the musicians Lidiana Larrinaga Moré from Havana (singer and dancer, who explores several musical styles, from gospel to salsa, soul and sound), Luis Aballe, of Holguin in Cuba (pianist and percussionist), Stivens Carvajal (multi-percussionist) and Dimitrios Christopoulos, from Greece (bassist).
