During the early 19th century, as Spain’s empire in the Americas began to unravel, the Caribbean became a battleground for privateers, pirates, and imperial powers.

Join us for an online book talk with author Glenn M. Stein as he discusses his latest work, “Bloody Waters: The Zaragozana and Cuban Piracy in the 1820s.”

In “Bloody Waters,” Stein draws on groundbreaking archival research from eight countries to uncover the dramatic history of Cuban piracy during this turbulent era. Centered on the pursuit and capture of the infamous pirate captain Cayetano Aragones aboard the schooner Zaragozana, the book traces the rise and fall of piracy along Cuba’s coasts through vivid storytelling, newly uncovered historical evidence, and striking visual materials.

Stein will present the research behind the book and explore the political, maritime, and social forces that shaped one of the Caribbean’s most fascinating and often overlooked chapters of history, the Age of Sail. Following the presentation, Amanda Moreno-Schroeder, Esperanza Bravo de Varona Chair and director of the Cuban Heritage Collection will moderate a live audience Q&A.

About the Presenter
Glenn “Marty” Stein is a polar and maritime historian, having sailed in the Arctic, to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, and many Antarctic destinations. Stein has researched maritime and polar history since 1975, and regularly publishes in journals, magazines, and online. He is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Royal Canadian Geographical Society, life member of the American Polar Society, member of the Orders and Medals Research Society in the United Kingdom, and the Life Saving Awards Research Society in the United Kingdom.

The author of over 70 articles and papers, Stein’s award-winning book, “Discovering the North-West Passage: The Four-Year Arctic Odyssey of H.M.S. Investigator and the McClure Expedition” (McFarland, 2015) was launched at the Library of Congress.

“Bloody Waters: The Zaragozana and Cuban Piracy in the 1820s” (McFarland, 2026) represents groundbreaking research into the history and genealogy of the hunters and the hunted of Cuban piracy. The narrative follows swashbuckling action, tense trials, and somber executions, chronicling the attempt to end the scourge.

Known for his evocative depictions of architecture, memory, and place, famed Cuban American artist and University of Miami alumnus Humberto Calzada (1944-2025) created a body of work that continues to resonate across generations.

Join us for a conversation celebrating Calzada’s life, artistic achievements, and lasting influence.

Humberto Calzada (1944-2025) nurtured his childhood dream of becoming an architect by sketching houses he encountered on his daily journey to his elementary school, the Saint George School in El Vedado, Cuba. After his family relocated to Miami, Florida, in 1960 following the Cuban Revolution, he attended Coral Gables Senior High School. Calzada then pursued engineering studies at the University of Miami, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in 1966 and an M.B.A. in 1968.

While working at IBM in Boca Raton, his passion for architecture and design continued to grow. Transitioning to become a general contractor, he constructed several homes in Miami-Dade County, including his own residence in South Miami. Concurrently, he delved into painting as a hobby, seeking to capture the opulence of Colonial and Neoclassical Havana homes and the vivid colors and textures of the Caribbean, pieced together from memories and the sketches from his childhood that he had brought with him.

Join us for the second of two webinars this spring that explore how scholars, journalists, and artists are recovering a more complete picture of the Angolan Civil War’s legacy.

Half a century after the start of Cuba’s military involvement in Angola, the war remains one of the most consequential yet least discussed experiences of the revolutionary period. For the tens of thousands of Cubans who served overseas between 1975 and 1991—as soldiers, teachers, doctors, and technicians—the conflict left lasting personal and social scars that have often been overshadowed by triumphalist official narratives.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the online audience. This conversation will be conducted in both English and Spanish languages.

Join research fellow of the Jay I. Kislak Collection, Claire Lavarreda, for an online showcase and presentation moderated by Jay I. Kislak Chair and Curator Daniel Arbino.

Lavarreda’s research investigates Indigenous labor, expertise, and intellectual authority in the production of Catholic texts in New Spain from 1570 to 1810. Her forthcoming dissertation uses a book history approach to show how Catholic works functioned as sites of blended epistemologies, shaped not only by European clerics but also by the Indigenous artists, scribes, translators, and printers who materially created, revised, and circulated them.

Cost: free

Join us for the first of two webinars this spring that explore silenced memories of the war and the challenges—personal, methodological, and artistic—to unearthing the conflicted legacies of what some have called “Cuba’s Vietnam.”

Late 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Cuba’s military intervention in Angola, a major conflict of the late Cold War. From 1975 until 1991, over 300,000 Cuban troops, backed by the Soviet Union, supported the ruling People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) government’s efforts to thwart rival contenders for power backed by the United States and the invading army of apartheid-era South Africa. Thousands of Cuban educators, physicians, and other professionals also completed tours. Yet many of their stories of trauma, dislocation, and hardship remain buried under celebratory narratives of “internationalism” that focus largely on the conflict’s geopolitical outcomes.

In our first event, anthropologist Katrin Hansing, who is writing a book based on long-term ethnographic research and interviews with Cuban veterans of the conflict, will engage in a dialogue with Lisbon-based Cuban author Karla Suárez, whose fiction has explored the impact of Angola on Cuban society in the 1970s and 1980s.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the online audience. This conversation will be conducted in both English and Spanish languages.

Exploring the lasting cultural, ecological, and historical impact of its native plants and crops
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Drawing on materials from the Jay I. Kislak Collection of the Early Americas, Exploration and Navigation, “Roots of the Americas” explores the enduring significance of crops native to the Americas, including corn, tobacco, cacao, and a variety of medicinal flora. The exhibition highlights the deep relationships Indigenous communities developed with these crops and the ways botanical knowledge and agricultural practices shaped societies across the hemisphere long before the arrival of Europeans. These plants held spiritual, cultural, and economic meaning, and they played a central role in sustaining community life.

“Roots of the Americas” also examines the profound changes that followed European contact. As these crops entered global markets and imperial systems, they reshaped local economies, altered landscapes, and influenced daily life throughout the Americas. Their histories continue to define contemporary foodways, economies, and cultural identities, revealing how the legacies of colonialism remain present today.

In celebration of two major milestones—the 125th anniversary of Kurt Weill’s birth and the 75th year since his passing—Orchestra Miami proudly presents From Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill, a captivating musical revue that honors the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s most influential composers.

Recognized for his groundbreaking ability to bridge the worlds of opera and musical theatre, Weill created unforgettable works that combined powerful storytelling with strong melodies and deep social conscience.

About the Show
From Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill traces the composer’s extraordinary journey from his early success in Germany to his triumphant career in the United States. The revue features over 40 of Weill’s iconic songs, with lyrics by some of his most celebrated collaborators including Bertolt Brecht, Ira Gershwin, and Alan Jay Lerner. Through a compelling mix of narration and musical numbers, the production explores Weill’s artistic evolution through times of political upheaval, exile, and adaptation to new musical landscapes.

The performance is structured in two acts, reflecting the distinct chapters of Weill’s career. The first act delves into his early work in Germany (pre-1935), while the second highlights his prolific years in America (post-1935). Audiences will enjoy timeless classics from The Threepenny Opera, Lady in the Dark, Lost in the Stars, and more—including favorites like “Mack the Knife,” “September Song,” “Surabaya Johnny,” “My Ship,” and “The Saga of Jenny.”

An All-Star Cast
Orchestra Miami has assembled an exceptional cast for this special production: soprano Rose Kearinis one of the foremost interpreters of song of her generation; Elise Quagliata is a GRAMMY-nominated mezzo-soprano and one of America’s leading Carmens; tenor Ben Gulley is that rare singer who is equally at home in opera, musical theater, and pop;
and Lovell Rose, a dynamic baritone and one of South Florida’s busiest performing artists.

The production is directed by Ali Tallman, known for her work as a director, dramaturg, and movement specialist. Elaine Rinaldi, Orchestra Miami’s Artistic Director, serves as Music Director, leading a 6-piece live cabaret ensemble in a fully staged performance.

Can’t make it on Nov 22nd? There is a 2nd performance on Sunday, Nov.23rd, 7 PM at the Miami Beach Bandshell. Please visit https://www.orchestramiami.org/berlin-to-broadway for more information.

South Beach Chamber Ensemble presents Music in Beautiful Spaces: Brahms and Piazzolla

Program:
– Brahms Piano Trio in C major, Op. 87 (1882)
– Piazzolla The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (1965-69)

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. His music is noted for its rhythmic vitality and freer treatment of dissonance, often set within studied yet expressive contrapuntal textures.

Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) was an Argentine tango composer, bandoneon player, and arranger. His works revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. A virtuoso bandoneonist, he regularly performed his own compositions with a variety of ensembles. In 1992, American music critic Stephen Holden described Piazzolla as “the world’s foremost composer of Tango music”.

Join us for an online presentation and discussion with Victor Deupi as he highlights his new book “Rada Photography: Mid-Century Architecture and Culture in South Florida and the Caribbean,” which focuses on photographers Anette and Rudi Rada’s work in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

In this first critical biography of the life and work of the Radas, two photographers working in South Florida and the Caribbean from approximately 1946 to 1975, architectural historian Deupi explores the lasting significance of the Radas in documenting the cities, buildings, landscapes, and people of the region during major social and economic transformations of the 20th century.

During the South Florida building boom of the 1950s, the Radas were highly sought-after photographers. Magazines, newspapers, and travel firms hired them to help advertise new houses and hotels, promoting the tropics and subtropics as a still-untouched paradise. In the Caribbean, Rudi Rada photographed new buildings intruding artistically and commercially into the natural environment while Annette Rada adopted a more ethnographic approach, photographing local people amid burgeoning mass tourism. Whether in South Florida, Cuba, or elsewhere in their travels, the work of the Radas captured postwar architectural evolution, as well as challenges faced by populations adapting to modernization.

Featuring a wealth of never-before-published photographs and material from several archives and collections, “Rada Photography” adds portrayals of the largely overlooked mid-century architecture of South Florida and the Caribbean to existing architectural photography in the United States and Latin America. The artistic output of Annette and Rudi Rada documents how architects and architecture in the region gave shape to architectural styles now known as Miami Modernism or Tropical Modern.

Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A with the audience.

Cost: free

Join us for the keynote presentation, “Beyond the Archive: The Cabrera-Tarafa Collection of Afro-Cuban Music, circa 1956” by Dr. J. Lorand Matory with comments from Dr. David Font-Navarrete.

In the mid-1950s, Lydia Cabrera and Josefina Tarafa recorded hours of Afro-Cuban ritual music in Matanzas and Havana, Cuba. The result was “Música de los cultos africanos en Cuba” (Music of the African Cults in Cuba), a boxed set of phonograph LPs printed in Cuba and distributed privately in a single limited edition circa 1956. The collection consists of 14 LP discs containing over 11 hours of audio recordings, along with liner notes and photos. Given its scope and quality, “Música de los cultos” is arguably the single most robust multimedia archive of Afro-Cuban sacred music traditions in the mid-20th century.

It remains unclear in which year the recordings were made, when the discs were pressed, and how many copies of the boxed set were produced, and only a few institutions hold complete physical editions of the original LP boxed set in their repositories. The audio recordings—the only ones Cabrera produced in her long career—are saturated by the musical and linguistic virtuosity of priest-artists for which Cabrera became an archival medium, and the sounds themselves are arguably the pinnacle of her life-long efforts to produce “material for specialists which has not passed through the dangerous filter of interpretation” (2023).

The compilation of a new digital edition of “Música de los cultos” is available for the first time as a complete and annotated archival collection at the University Libraries’ Cuban Heritage Collection, which is the official repository of the Lydia Cabrera Papers.

The program will conclude with a question and answer session with the audience.

This keynote presentation is part of a symposium that explores vital 21st-century insights on a unique document of Afro-Cuban sacred music traditions and offers novel perspectives on the Cabrera Papers’ multifaceted scope and significance. On May 14, a private collaborative research workshop will bring together scholars, priests, and artists for a critical dialogue.

This event is co-sponsored by the University of Miami’s Michele Bowman Underwood Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and the Joseph Carter Memorial Fund.

Florence Beatrice Price (1887-1953) was an American composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher from Little Rock, Arkansas. Educated at the New England Conservatory, she was active in Chicago from 1927 until her death. Price was the first African-American woman recognized as a symphonic composer and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. She composed over 300 works, including four symphonies and concertos. Her mentor, George Whitefield Chadwick encouraged her to experiment with African American folk inspirations in her work. Price’s music reflects her Southern roots and incorporates elements of African-American spirituals, emphasizing rhythm and syncopation.

George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931) was an influential American composer of the Second New England School. His works, influenced by the Realist movement, include operas, three symphonies, five string quartets, tone poems, incidental music, songs, and choral anthems. As part of the Boston Six, he helped create a significant body of concert music in the U.S.

Join us in the Kislak Center at the University of Miami for the inaugural presentation of the Kislak Talks series. The event will feature an engaging conversation with Dr. Miguel Valerio and Dr. Daniel Arbino about Valerio’s recent publication, “Sovereign Joy: Afro-Mexican Kings and Queens, 1539-1640.”

“Sovereign Joy” explores the performance of festive Black kings and queens among Afro-Mexicans between 1539 and 1640. This fascinating study illustrates how the first African and Afro-Creole people in colonial Mexico transformed their ancestral culture into a shared Afro-Mexican identity. It particularly focuses on how participation in public festivals expressed their culture and subjectivities, while also redefining their colonial condition and social standing. By analyzing this previously understudied aspect of Afro-Mexican Catholic confraternities in both literary texts and visual culture, Dr. Valerio reveals the deeply ambivalent and contradictory meanings behind public processions and festivities, which often re-inscribed structures of race and hierarchy. Were these festivities markers of Catholic subjecthood, and what types of corporate structures did they create to project standing and respectability?

About the Composers:
Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847), known as Fanny Hensel after marriage, was a German composer and pianist of the early Romantic period. Her works include a piano trio, piano quartet, orchestral overture, four cantatas, over 125 piano pieces, and 250 lieder, most unpublished during her lifetime. Praised for her exceptional piano technique, she rarely performed publicly. An anonymous critic lauded her trio in 1847 as a “masterpiece” with “broad, sweeping foundations.” Angela Mace Christian highlights it as one of her most impressive chamber works.

Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) was a prominent British-American composer and violist known for her chamber music featuring the viola. Recognized as a significant British composer during the interwar period and the foremost female composer of her time, she held dual citizenship and spent much time in the U.S., where she settled post-World War II. Despite a limited catalog, Clarke’s compositions are celebrated for their skill and artistic depth.

Coral Gables, FL – Cernuda Arte is thrilled to present its three new springtime exhibitions. The official opening of these shows will be held at 3155 and 3143 Ponce de León Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, on Friday, March 7th, 6-9 pm.

25 Artworks from the 19th Century – Havana in the nineteenth century was already a wealthy, highly developed city and one of the most promising metropolises of the New World. In the mid-nineteenth century, the city was considered by many to be the Paris of the Caribbean. The intimate relationship with the mother country, Spain, and the intense commerce with the quickly developing economic powerhouse, the United States, facilitated the cultural development of the island of Cuba, and primarily of its capital.

This exhibition explores the development of art in Cuba via the three dominant genres of the colonial times, i.e. portraits, landscapes, and religious imagery. The two founders of art in Cuba, Nicolás de la Escalera and Vicente Escobar, are represented in this show. Works by the three Chartrand brothers, Esteban, Philippe, and Augusto Chartrand, descendants of a wealthy French family, are exhibited together in Miami for the first time, along with paintings of the Melero family—Miguel, the father and director of the San Alejandro Academy for decades, and his sons Miguel Angel and Aurelio. Other artists represented are the Belgian Henri Cleenewerck, the Spaniards Víctor Patricio de Landaluze, José Carol and Miguel Arias, along with the “criollos” Armando Menocal, Leopoldo Romañach, Federico Sulroca, and Antonio Rodríguez Morey.

Flora Fong (b. 1949): A Lifetime of Excellence showcases five important paintings by Flora Fong. Over her four-decade career, the artist has gained international acclaim and awards, with her work featured at prestigious institutions such as the Art Museums of the Americas in Washington D.C., the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada, and the Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art in South Korea. This special presentation honors Fong’s achievements through representative paintings on canvas featuring the artist’s favorite symbols – roosters, mountains, hurricane winds, tropical fruits, sunflowers, and the Caribbean Sea, among others – all executed in vivid color.

Danuel Méndez (b. 1989): Recent Works from the Flowers Series presents a new collection of paintings by the rising star. In this series, Méndez continues his exploration of tropical plants, blending contemporary expressionism with classical elements. His reimagined abstract flora appears in iconic vases, such as Ming and Qing dynasty porcelains and ancient Greek urns, offering new perspectives on the connections between culture, art, humanity, and nature. Méndez’s works have been exhibited in important international art fairs throughout the United States, including EXPO Chicago, Art Miami, Art Wynwood, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, the Dallas Art Fair, and Philadelphia Fine Art, and can be found in distinguished private collections across the country.

The gallery also continues its acclaimed exhibitions, A Surrealist Century and a corresponding Wifredo Lam retrospective. These interconnected and curated exhibitions explore the surrealist movement’s century-long history, tracing its transformative journey from Europe to Latin America, the emergence and development of Magic Realism, and artists like Wifredo Lam’s roles as a bridge between the avant-garde scenes of Paris
and Havana.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 7th, 6:00-9:00 pm
Location: Cernuda Arte, 3155 & 3143 Ponce de León Blvd, Coral Gables, FL

Join us for a presentation by Dr. John Paul Paniagua during which he will offer an alternative narrative of the early conquest and colonization that de-emphasizes Native dissolution and extinction. Instead, it explores the formation of an early Caribbean labor regime built on both the Spanish encomienda and Indigenous enslavement. This nexus explains not just why so many Indians suffered and died, but how the Indigenous survived the way they did. Rather than a quick extermination, cascading social reproduction crises produced thousands of deracinated survivors—that is, survivors uprooted from their communities and cultures.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

“The Golden Age of the Jews of Al-Andalus” is a curated exhibition that invites visitors to explore the daily life of Jews in the Iberian Peninsula through detailed facsimiles, virtual reproductions, images, and re-creations. This society produced notable figures, such as the diplomat Ibn Shaprut, the poets Ibn Gabirol and Judah Halevi, and the thinker Maimonides, all of whom contributed to a rich cultural heritage that endures to this day.

Visitors can experience a reconstructed medieval synagogue on-site through mixed reality, utilizing augmented reality (AR) features. A virtual reality version is also available online, enabling users to join the guided AR tour and interact with an AI avatar of Maimonides.

A bilingual Spanish-English traveling exhibition, “The Golden Age” was originally curated by José Martínez Delgado, a professor at the University of Granada. The installation on view on the first floor of the Otto G. Richter Library was organized by Centro Sefarad-Israel in collaboration with several organizations, including the Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies, the George Feldenkreis Program in Judaic Studies, and the Libraries at the University of Miami.

A masterful blend of storytelling, magical realism, and biting political satire, the story of “Fuacatapám” follows La India Agripina and her companion Don Liborio—symbolizing the Cuban spirit—on a surreal journey through post-revolutionary Cuba. They encounter iconic historical figures like José Martí, Antonio Maceo, and Félix Varela, yet La India’s sharp wit and irreverent humor flip expectations on their heads.

With echoes of Lydia Cabrera’s Afro-Cuban magic and the choteo humor so intrinsic to Cuban culture, this whimsical yet poignant satire reflects on political repression and the complex legacy of revolution. Don’t miss this vibrant exploration of imagination and identity!

This event will be presented in both English and Spanish languages.

Join us in the Kislak Center at the University of Miami for an engaging presentation by Matthew H. Robb, Mesoamerican specialist at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

The publication of “The Weight of a Patina of Time” provides an occasion to reflect on a series of works by Gala Porras-Kim, whose research-based practice looks closely at the layered meaning of objects in the 21st-century museum. Her in-depth explorations of the uncertain histories of ancient objects reimagine their pasts while charting new possibilities for their present and future.

Dr. Robb’s talk will focus on Porras-Kim’s affinity for fragments, conflicting histories, undeciphered texts, and other instances of uncertainty within the space of the museum. He will also explore how to address the challenges of maintaining knowledge over centuries in shifting institutional contexts through an examination of her Mesoamerican works.

The presentation will conclude with a question and answer session with the audience.

Join us for a panel discussion celebrating the launch of “Modern Cuban Painters: From Havana to New York,” a new book that delves into themes of resistance and the integration of 1940s Cuban modern art into the United States’ cultural landscape. This work highlights the legacy of artists who led the shift toward modernity in Cuba.

Published by the Fundación Mariano Rodríguez, “Modern Cuban Painters: From Havana to New York,” commemorates the 80th anniversary of both the historic exhibition “Modern Cuban Painters” at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as well as the seminal book “Pintura Cubana de Hoy.” Featuring essays by scholars Elizabeth Thompson-Goizueta and Luz Merino Acosta, as well as curator Susanna Temkin, and a chronology by Cristina Figueroa, this publication examines New York’s role as a cultural hub that welcomed prominent Cuban modernists like Lam, Carreño, Cundo, Mariano, and Amelia into a dynamic space of intercultural dialogue.

In 1942, Alfred H. Barr, the founding director of MoMA, visited Havana for the first time amidst a period of creative splendor, fueled by the work of avant-garde artists. This visit laid the groundwork for “Modern Cuban Painters” (1944), MoMA’s landmark exhibition—the first to showcase the impact Cuba’s Modern Art movement had in the U.S. The exhibition included “Pintura Cubana de Hoy” (1944), an essential text in Cuban modern art history with essays by critic José Gómez Sicre and edited by art patron María Luisa Gómez Mena, an influential but often overlooked advocate of Cuban art.

This event will be presented in both English and Spanish languages.

Popular author and food writer Jesse Blanco, the founder of Eat It and Like It and Eat It Florida, will speak at the Books & Books flagship location in Coral Gables, Fla., on Monday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. as part of “An Evening With Jesse Blanco.” This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are recommended and are available by visiting booksandbooks.com.

A full-time food writer with an insatiable desire to travel, eat and explore, Blanco is the acclaimed author of Savannah Food Crawls and Charleston Food Crawls. His 24-year career in TV news – coupled with his large Cuban family’s influence in Miami – has given him the ability to connect with viewers and readers through food.

Blanco grew up in Coconut Grove, graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in 1987 and earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Central Florida in 1994 before launching a successful 24-year career as a television news anchor, reporter and sportscaster. Over the years, he has covered a wide range of news stories in Nashville, Tenn.; El Paso, Tex.; and Savannah, Ga., where he currently resides with his wife, Sheila.

In 2010, Blanco launched a popular blog – and later an award-winning television show – called Eat It and Like It, which was originally dedicated to exploring the underappreciated side of Savannah’s food scene. He has since expanded Eat and It and Like It to include cities and towns across the Southeast and is currently launching Eat It Florida, which is focused on celebrating exceptional food and drink across the Sunshine State.

Blanco published Savannah Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2023 and Charleston Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2024. Both books offer exciting culinary tours of the South’s most acclaimed cities, each of which has a vibrant, buzzworthy food scene. In each book, this larger-than-life food writer eagerly invites readers to dig into Savannah and Charleston, one dish at a time.
