Join the Museum of Art and Design for a special evening at the Freedom Tower with artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara.
The evening will begin with a live performance, followed by a conversation with Alcántara, a prominent Cuban dissident artist who recently arrived in Miami in July 2026 following five years as a political prisoner in Cuba.
He will be joined by film director Ernesto Fundora, whose recent documentary Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara: Estamos conectados, highlighted the artist's plight and his role as co-founder of the San Isidro Movement.
The conversation between Alcántara and Fundora will be moderated by Gloria Ordaz.
Recent works by the artist will be on view.
A reception will follow the talk.
This event is free and open to the public.
