IlluminArts will present “A Female Force”: a program inspired by the work of celebrated Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta at the De la Cruz Collection. Mendieta's work was largely autobiographical and focused on themes including nature, life, death, identity, place and belonging. Her art provides a wealth of inspiration that will be illuminated through a musical program focusing on works of female composers performed by female musicians. Using elements of multimedia, this performance event will break the norm of how classical music is consumed by today’s audiences, and provide a unique experience for Miami’s community. In her own words, “My art is the way I re-establish the bonds that unite me to the universe. It is a return to the maternal source.”
