| Description |
With the generous donation of the proceeds of her upcoming show, Postcards from Cuba, to benefit both the Mayor's Haiti Relief Fund and the newly founded not-for-profit Fund Art Now, Ms. Belafonte has championed two great causes. In a continued effort to bring global awareness of the importance of the arts through Fund Art Now, Shari Belafonte has addressed the current discourse of Cuba's future.
Pictorially riveting, these images, symbolic of the effects of embargo and isolation of the Cuban people, are juxtaposed with the formatted familiarity of tourism and family excursion. This dichotomy of leisurely revelry and socio-cultural dwarfism poses a simple question, "Where has justice gone?" We live in a time of change and change we must.
