This will be the first time that her work has been exhibited in the Southern Hemisphere.Dolron is represented in many major museums including the Solomon R. Guggenheim and Buhl Collection in New York, Victoria & Albert in London, Stedelijk, Amsterdam and Museo Nacional Reina in Madrid.
The works on show are from the Te e di todos mis sueno / I give you all my dreams (2002) series. Dolron spent four months in Havana photographing the poorest areas of the city. She photographed kitchens, sitting rooms, classrooms, a library, schoolchildren, a ballerina, back streets and Havana Bay. The atmosphere is one of mystery and silence as if time had magically stopped. The prints are luminously clean and coloured with a sensitive precise palate.
When: From 9 November
Where: 69 Owen Street, Newtown, Wellington
