Look closely at the work of Ana Mendieta and María Magdalena Campos-Pons and discover where the two artists intersect. Though they never met, their work shares a reckoning with displacement and exile from their homes in Cuba, a deep reverence for the land, and a transformative use of natural elements like water, earth, and fire in their multimedia work. Explore the scope of their practices, with a special emphasis on Mendieta and her site-specific innovations in performance.
