Expansión 15 I 15 Bienal de La Habana Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam  /  Wifredo Lam Centre for Contemporary Art

Expansión 15 is an exhibition that wraps up the 15th Havana Biennial. It features a selection of artworks that were reflect the themes and ideas explored in this recent edition. The exhibition also highlights the creative outcomes of a special artist residency held in partnership with the Quisicuaba Association at the “Punto Naranja” Camp.

The work was the result of this artist residency, which unfolded at an assisted living facility on the outskirts of Havana, where artist lived and worked alongside residents and staff. Together, we explored the surrounding environment—the land, crops, wild plants, and other materials available in the area. These living conditions and relationships became the foundation for our work together, allowing the stories of the place to surface as personal experiences and shared narratives. The creative process emphasized individual expression while encouraging playful experimentation.
