This exhibition offers a journey through the creative universe of Sandra Ramos (Havana, 1969) through a selection of works articulated by her interest in art as a way of fabulating other Íthacas, projecting new possible places for the individual in the face of an unstable and turbulent world. From her early engravings, reflecting the economic, social, and ideological crisis of Cuba in the 1990s, to recent installations and video animations, her critical and poetic gaze on reality expands, revealing the complexities and contradictions of today's global environment.
In Dreaming of Another Ithaca, the "pioneer girl," from a small mound-island, extends a pencil pointing toward the horizon over which she draws the outlines of a new city. She thus traces an imaginary bridge that crosses the deep, dark, turbulent waters, shortening distances and bringing shores closer, believing in the value of art as an infinite space for human connection and a path toward freedom. Dreaming of another Ithaca’s yet to come.
