Tertulia Nights w/ José Bedia, Solimar Ortero, and David Font-Navarrete

The Frost Art Museum presents Tertulia Nights, an after-hours experience that takes place every second Thursday of the month.

This month, we'll be joined by artist José Bedia; Dr. David Font-Navarrete, Assistant Professor, Department of Music, Multimedia, Theatre, & Dance, Lehman College; and Dr. Solimar Otero, Professor, Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, Indiana University Bloomington. These three experts will examine the work on view in and the major role of Afro-descendants in the development of Cuban music, religion, and art.

This event is free and open to the public, thanks to our partners at the Art Bridges Foundation, The Cuban Research Institute at FIU, and the Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs. Refreshments are provided to guests aged 21 and over courtesy of our friends at Tripping Animals Brewery. Tertulia Nights is recommended for guests aged 18 and older.
