About the\u00a0Project<\/h3>\n

This unprecedented exhibition showcases the material culture of Cuban childhood spanning from the 1960s to the 1980s. This period witnessed the establishment of a Soviet-style state socialist regime in Cuba, fundamentally transforming everyday life in the country. Pioneros<\/em>: Building Cuba’s Socialist Childhood<\/strong> delves into the intricate connections between the political, the domestic, the personal, and the material realms, offering a portrayal of how global and national influences shaped the daily lives of Cuban families.<\/p>\n

Co-curated by sociologist Maria A. Cabrera Arus<\/a> and art historian Meyken Barreto<\/a>, the exhibition features an impressive collection of over three hundred historical items. It includes toys, furniture, books, clothing, appliances, children’s ephemera, photographs, posters, television shows, and recorded music. The musical curation is led by art historian Emilio Garcia Montiel.<\/a><\/p>\n

All artifacts and items showcased belong to the Cuba Material<\/a> collection, with the exception of the posters, which are part of designer Pepe Men\u00e9ndez’s collection.<\/a>\u00a0Complementing the exhibition, Cuban-American artist Geandy Pavon, a former “pionero” (young pioneer), has produced a series of thought-provoking photographs that shed light on the contemporary significance of the themes explored.<\/p>\n
