Join us for a dramatic reading of Campo by Marco Antonio Rodriguez, presented entirely in Spanish!
Campo is the final chapter in a trilogy (The Light of a Cigarrillo and Barceló con Ice being the other works) whose story unfolds during the short and impactful Dominican Civil War of 1965. Campo examines Dominican politics and society during the brief Civil War from the perspective of one family’s inner core and a confused young man defending the opposite side. Through a highly disorienting war and a clash of cultures, this drama-comedy explores the search for identity, freedom and represents a place and time where change is the only constant.

The exhibition will explore Picasso’s response to Spanish literature, in particular his images inspired by two 17th-century literary giants, Luis de Góngora y Argote and Miguel de Cervantes. Featuring a recent acquisition, Picasso’s suite of prints, Góngora’s Vingt poëmes (1948), it will display rarely seen works of art alongside seventeenth-century editions and manuscripts. It will highlight Picasso’s reinterpretation of Velázquez’s portrait of the poet, the artist’s vision of the ideal woman, and his depiction of the iconic figures from Cervantes’s novel Don Quixote. The exhibition will thus focus on the way Picasso reinterpreted the literary classics of his native land.
