The Queer Showcase season opens on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 8:30 p.m., with the exhibition “Rompecabezas: Una nostalgia sin dramas” (Puzzle: A Nostalgia Without Drama), by visual artist Sergio Chávez (Havana, 1965), who has lived in the United States since 1999. Trained at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts and the National School of Applied Arts, Chávez worked alongside key figures in Cuban art such as Antonia Eiriz and Manuel Mendive. His work has been exhibited in Miami and Paris, and has been defined by poet Reinaldo García Ramos as a form of nostalgia that is “discreet, without fanfare,” eschewing drama in favor of enunciation through evocation and humor.
