Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara: nos encontramos

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.

Recent works by the artist will be on view.

A reception in the Knight Skylight Gallery will follow the talk.

This event is free and open to the public.
