The women were connected by their prominent roles as leaders in the religions they practiced and the dramatic ritual artwork they created. Each was a medium in Espiritismo--communicating with dead ancestors for guidance or insight--and also a santera, or priest of SanteriÌa, who could engage the oricha pantheon. Kristine Juncker argues that by creating art for more than one religion these women shatter the popular assumption that Afro-Caribbean religions are exclusive organizations. The portraiture, sculptures, and photographs in Afro-Cuban Religious Arts offer rare and remarkable glimpses into the rituals and iconography of Espiritismo and SanteriÌa. SanteriÌa altars are closely guarded, limited to initiates, and typically destroyed upon the death of the santera while Espiritismo artifacts are rarely considered valuable enough to pass on. The unique and protean cultural legacy detailed here reveals how ritual art became popular imagery, sparked a wider dialogue about culture inheritance, attracted new practitioners, and enabled Afro-Cuban religious expression to explode internationally."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Religious pluralism and the Afro-Cuban ritual-arts movement, 1899-1969 -- Tiburcia and the nested spaces of Afro-Cuban ritual arts, 1861-1938 -- Hortensia and Iluminada: Afro-Cuban ritual altars at the crossroads -- Iluminada and Carmen: arts of historical desire in 1950s and 1960s Spanish Harlem -- Conclusion: Afro-Atlantic arts and the popular sublime -- Appendix: Food for the oricha. 546 $a Text in English. 650 0 $a Art, Cuban $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Art, Cuban $x African influences. 650 0 $a Spiritualism in art. 650 0 $a Santeria in art. 710 2 $a Latin American and Caribbean Arts and Culture Publication Initiative. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014934335-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014934335-d.html 941 $a 3 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728020302.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020753.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826100356.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FD7ECBE171111E5901AD783DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
