The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas (MoCAAmericas) is pleased to announce the donation of a series of catalogues to the Instituto Cervantes, including the Museum’s own publication produced to accompany the landmark exhibition Cuban Art from Both Shores. This gesture, while seemingly modest, carries significant cultural weight: it ensures that the scholarship, critical perspectives, and visual narratives generated by the exhibition will remain accessible to a broader public and to future generations of researchers, artists, and cultural practitioners.
The presentation of the MoCAAmericas catalogue to the Instituto Cervantes marks not only the conclusion of an exhibition, but the extension of its intellectual and artistic resonance. Exhibitions of this magnitude are never confined to their physical duration; they live on through the archives, catalogues, and publications that document their scope and significance. By entrusting these materials to the Instituto Cervantes, MoCAAmericas underscores its belief in the power of cultural institutions to safeguard memory and to serve as custodians of a shared artistic heritage.
The Museum expresses its deepest gratitude to the Instituto Cervantes for its generous collaboration and for hosting Cuban Art from Both Shores with such dedication. The Instituto Cervantes has long been recognized as a vital platform for the promotion of Spanish and Latin American cultures around the world, and its partnership in this project has reaffirmed the shared values that unite our institutions: dialogue, openness, and the celebration of diversity.
Beyond the immediate scope of the donation, MoCAAmericas views this moment as a renewed commitment to the future. The Museum is determined to continue building bridges of collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes, nurturing new projects, exchanges, and initiatives that will enrich cultural life across borders. The success of Cuban Art from Both Shores has confirmed the relevance of these dialogues in the current global context, where the circulation of ideas, images, and voices is essential to understanding the complexities of contemporary art.
Looking ahead, MoCAAmericas envisions this partnership as a dynamic space for experimentation, research, and collective reflection. By aligning our efforts with institutions such as the Instituto Cervantes, we reaffirm our mission to act as a meeting point for artists, scholars, and audiences throughout the Americas and beyond.
In donating these catalogues and reaffirming our shared vision, MoCAAmericas celebrates not only the legacy of an exhibition, but the promise of continued cultural exchange in the years to come.
