Subsequently, in the auditorium of the MAM, audiences will enjoy the documentary created by Miguel Villafañe, which illustrates the event celebrating the centenary of the birth of Puerto Rican artist Lorenzo Homar, Antonio Martorell’s teacher. At the same time, the film details the process of staging Imalabra, Antonio Martorell’s retrospective in Havana, and his ongoing dialogue with the Teacher.

On Saturday, June 20, at 11:00 am, there will be a tour of Imalabra, which is on exhibition on the second floor of the Museum of Modern Art, during which the artist will speak about his impressions, experiences, the process of creating and staging the exhibit, as well as its touring.
