ABSTRACT

Cuban-born artist Wifredo Lam was a key figure of Surrealism's transversal network in the 20th century. His work explored Afro-Caribbean syncretism and the haunting memory of the transatlantic slave trade. His resistance against colonial oppression developed in later collaborative projects with Aimé Césaire and Joyce Mansour.
