Artist’s Talk with Magdalena Solé

Join social documentary photographer Magdalena Solé at Sous Les Etoiles Gallery for an Artist’s Talk on her latest series CUBA – Hasta Siempre (Cuba Forever), taken between 2011 and 2015, and on exhibit at the gallery June 25 through August 8.

For Spanish-born Magdalena Solé, Cuba became an unexpected balm, transporting the artist to the Spain she remembered from her childhood. While Cuba remained in the backwaters of American consciousness, Solé rejoiced to see the simple repasts of 1960s Spain alive and well in Cuba, and sought to reveal through her signature eye for color the first stirrings of transformation in a country on the brink of change.

Magdalena Solé is a social documentary photographer concerned with communities at the edge of society. Known for her sensitive expressions of culture through distinctive color artistry, her photographs describe brief moments of human existence, carried by the rhythm of a setting. Her previous series Mississippi Delta, featuring the oft-overlooked community of the iconic Delta region, has most recently been exhibited at the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, FL; and the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA. In 2011 she was awarded the Silver Prize at Slow Exposures, Concord, GA.
