Manuel Mendive Exhibit 'Nature, Spirit, and Body' Is At The Bronx Museum Of The Arts
The Bronx Museum of the Arts is pleased to present the exhibition by Afro-Cuban artist Manuel Mendive: Nature, Spirit, and Body. Mendive has developed a sophisticated and pointed examination of the influence of African oral-based traditions on Cuba through the experimental lens of contemporary art. His multidisciplinary work, ranging from sculpture to painting to performance, has become a vehicle for exploring the intersections between art, religion, philosophy, politics, ethics, and anthropology.
