Photos courtesty Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte and Tico Torres
Accompanying the journalistic, history-based panels and vitrines that convey the Cuban exile experience at the Diaspora Cultural Legacy Galleries at Miami Dade College's Museum of Art + Design (MOAD) is a collaborative project by photographer Alexis Rodríguez-Duarte and stylist Tico Torres called Cuba Out of Cuba. Over the course of 20+ years, the couple has documented writers, performers, composers, designers and artists of Cuban heritage who live in exile. In the audio presentations, MOAD director Jeremy Mikolajczak provides an overview; artist and curator Angela Valella tells brief anecdotes of her arrival from Cuba; Torres and Duarte describe elements of the photo exhibition
