Join us to celebrate the opening of Carlos Martiel: Dark Age at The 8th Floor. For almost twenty years, Carlos Martiel has dedicated himself to a highly confrontational performance practice, often exploring anti-Blackness, migration, and his Cuban-Jamaican identity. In addition to installed documentation of key works and a new series of drawings, the artist will score three new live performances. Learn more here.
