Brutedge Gallery / Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, NJ
A mixed-media group show of Haitian and Cuban artists featuring works of a spiritual and/or religious nature. Jorge Alberto Perez' photographic work [pictured above] of appropriated image-fragments
highlights the Yoruba legend of Moremi, a Christ-like figure who saved
her tribe by letting herself be caught by the enemy in order to learn
their secrets and save her own people. The story hinges on the 'trick'
she plays and is dedicated to the trickster deity of Santeria - Elegua.

Deadline is March 10, 2014
