MICHEL MIRABAL’s works are painted on wooden boards, either blackened with charcoal or covered with newspaper. Why Rice, Barbed wire, keys, or bullet shells? From the darkest of tragedy can come the most stunning expressions of light. Michel is continual seeking symbols that overcome barriers. To freedoms, differences of religion, political systems and physical barriers. He reminds us how the glue of humanity is much stronger…how we are all connected.

The Festival consisted of a 6 days tour (Sept. 7-13, 2017): it started in Key West for 3 days and was then celebrated in Cuba for 3 days in La Havana. The event was presented by La Havana Air who flew the participants between the two destinations, in one of its planes decorated by Michel Mirabal (read full story).

Once in La Havana, participants were all invited at Michel's compound for an opening night party.
