As a symbolic space, the young art competition malaYerba <\/em>emerged within the Fondo de Arte Joven platform to promote the discourses of the new Cuban visual artists, with their diverse languages of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was born, paraphrasing a text by the curator and art critic Gerardo Mosquera, in a similar context of inspiration, with a huge challenge: to harvest the malaYerba<\/em> as an artistic fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to art curator and researcher Corina Matamoros, the artistic event does not take place alone, but in a circuit where a group of experts and specialists intervene to make the artistic event itself move, and in this case, the malaYerba<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This January 24, as a result of a collective effort by turning utopias into art<\/em>The catalog of the first edition of the contest, which came to stay as a laboratory of young creation, with a solid selection of artists living and working in Cuba, was presented at the Theater Hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-three finalists make up the volume, which contains their particular -and collective- views on migration, social prejudices, freedoms to be conquered, as a generational manifesto that also marks the existence of this project, born in Cuba, at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Esterio Segura, visual artist and jury member of this first edition, \"from that seed of malayerba, <\/em>planted by Gerardo Mosquera as a concept of what is Cuban, more than art in itself, this space emerges today as evidence of the work of young artists, their capacity for research and creation\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material, carefully designed by the Consense Studio<\/em>edited by Sheyla Valladares and printed by Spanish publisher Selvi Graphic Arts<\/em>compiles the work of young creators as an indispensable tool for documenting, developing and promoting their work on an international scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catalog is also an indispensable bibliographic element in the professional training that the Youth Art Fund and the Fundaci\u00f3n Los Carbonell \/ NG Art Gallery make available to public libraries, study centers and art professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
