The 8th Floor wishes to acknowledge the artists for their exciting and thoughtful contributions to this
exhibition—it has been a pleasure to share in the process.
The collaboration with Orlando Hernández was as always fruitful and continues to be a productive partnership. Based in Havana, the insight he provides into Cuban visual culture and his understanding of
daily life on the island allows us here in New York to continue to present exciting work from new Cuban
artists. Ted Henken’s astute translation and thoughtful insights, extends the reach of Orlando’s valuable
contributions. The dedicated staff at The 8th Floor—Anna Gonick, Matthew Johnson, Anjuli Nanda,
Elise Roedenbeck and Sarah Van Anden—who’s tireless efforts is much appreciated.
Without the generous support and thoughtful contributions of Shelley and Donald Rubin, this opportunity to share a range of Cuban voices would not be possible.
