The Uncertain Future of Absence, by Lisu Vega

Fabiola R. Delgado

MoCA Arlington | Amalia Caputo, Reynier Leyva Novo, and Lisu Vega in collaboration with Carlos Pedreáñez | Tactics for Remembering

Tactics for Remembering invites viewers to reflect on the notion of home as a fluid and emotional space—shaped by memory, the body, and absence. Curated by Fabiola R. Delgado as part of MoCA Arlington’s Global Spotlight series, the exhibition intentionally “bends the frame,” expanding the lens beyond national boundaries toward an affective geography: Cuba-Zuela, a linguistic hybrid that is reclaimed to affirm the historical and cultural kinship between Cuba and Venezuela. The two nations, bound by the Caribbean Sea, are marked by parallel struggles, and linked by two sister diasporas. The sea –a body that simultaneously connects and separates– becomes a symbolic axis in the exhibition: connecting people on “the other side of the water” and holding within its cyclical tides stories of power, migration, survival, and rebirth.
