Join us for Coffee & Conversation at DFAC, where art and insight blend over a great cup of coffee. Sponsored by DFAC’s Sterling Society — with coffee generously provided by Lane’s Lemonade — each session features a guest artist sharing their creative journey. Curatorial Director Danny Olda leads a Q&A to explore the story behind the artist and their work, followed by a guided gallery tour where you can get a closer look and ask questions about their inspiration and techniques.This month, we welcome Tatiana Mesa Paján, a Cuban-born, Tampa-based artist whose process-driven practice spans performance, installation, ready-mades, printmaking, artist books, and poetic prose. Rooted in archaeology, anthropology, and language, her work explores memory, documentation, and the ethics of what is revealed or concealed. Mesa defines her art as “poetic gestures” drawn from everyday experiences—walking, touching, kissing—that become evidence of lived time. She co-founded The Department of Public Intervention in Havana and co-curated Experiencia de Acción: 30 días at the 8th Havana Biennial (2003). Her work has been exhibited internationally across Europe, Latin America, and the United States, and her prose published widely. Mesa studied at San Alejandro Academy, ISA in Havana, and earned her MFA from USF, where she now teaches printmaking.
Admission: $5 | Free for DFAC members
