The lecture analyses five significant moments in the creative process of the Cuban printmaker Belkis Ay\u00f3n, following a chronological order from 1988\u2014the year of her first solo exhibition\u2014to her death in 1999. These moments are used to trace the creative, socio-cultural, and ideological factors that led the artist to become intensively involved with the Abaku\u00e1 Secret Society as both myth and fraternal community. Vives\u2019 research on the work of Ay\u00f3n began during her longtime friendship and collaboration with the artist and continued as part of the travelling exhibition Nkame: A Retrospective of Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ay\u00f3n<\/em>, which was on view at seven museums in the United States between 2016 and 2021, and most recently at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid.<\/p>

Yolanda Wood will examine key aspects of the year 1999, when Belkis Ay\u00f3n decided to end her life at the age of 32, on the threshold of this new century. She highlights the artist\u2019s broader context of production during an intense creative process in the last months of her life, encompassing multiple fields of her artistic practice: international commitments, her curatorial work and general promotion of engraving, her teaching work, public and participatory projects, as well as the establishing of relationships between her work and that of other female, Cuban, contemporary artists. Wood\u2019s deep connection to the work of Ay\u00f3n becomes evident, as well as the ways in which Ay\u00f3n\u2019s life and work not only managed to transcend the threshold of the millennium, but became unforgettable for the artist\u2019s contemporaries and generations to follow.<\/p>
