Descripción de la Exposición
The “Land Land Land” exhibition offers a captivating collection of photographs by José Ney Milà Espinosa, a Cuban-born artist exploring rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the “Yoruba” (Afro-Cuban Santeria) and “Kimbiza, Santo Cristo del Buen Viaje,” a lesser-known Afro-Cuban spiritual practice. Through powerful imagery, the artist captures the vibrant rituals, sacred symbols, and deep rooted traditions that bridge the African diaspora in Cuba. The photographs not only highlight the ceremonial aspects of these faiths, but also convey the profound connection between the natural and spiritual worlds that these belief systems embrace. This exhibition offers a visual narrative that honors the ongoing influence of Afro-Cuban spirituality in contemporary culture.
José Ney is a self-taught photographer born in Havana, Cuba in 1959 who has worked as a press photographer, freelance artist, and finally in Fototeca de Cuba, before emigrating in 1995. After working in Spain as a freelance photojournalist and as an analog and darkroom specialist, he settled in central Florida in 2010. He now dedicates himself to photography of Latin social events and conceptual photography related to immigration. His works have been included in hundreds of international exhibitions and are in the collections of such venerable institutions as the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas and the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt in Germany, among many others.
