MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A new art exhibit at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport marks the reopened relationship between the United States and Cuba.
"Buoyancy" opened Oct. 5 on both Concourses E and F in the airport's Terminal 1-Lindbergh. The title refers to the Cuban people's spirit through more than a half-century of trade embargoes.
The exhibit is a collaboration of Arts @ MSP, a new arts program that brings films, performance art and live music to travelers at the airport.
It's co-curated by the U.S. Cuba Artist Exchange in Minneapolis. The exhibit features works by Cuban artists Omar Valenti, Adrian Rumbaut and Camilo Diaz de Villalvilla.
Also featured is a visual and sound installation about Cuba by The Touch of Sound, an online library of recordings collected by Minnesota brothers Jesse and Jonah Marks.
Fun stories about food, relationships, the great outdoors and more.
