Trying to follow the trail of José Antonio Aponte’s imagination. Pictured here Santa Maria del Popolo, which features in page 37 of the #BookOfPaintings. https://t.co/EEtmCsQQS0 #DigitalAponte #VisionaryAponte #AponteOpera
Including a wonderful essay by Agnes Lugo-Ortiz on José Antonio Aponte. #VisionaryAponte #DigitalAponte
José Antonio Aponte, free Black carpenter and visionary artist and thinker, was executed on April 9, 1812, for his role in a major antislavery conspiracy and rebellion. #VisionaryAponte #DigitalAponte #Cuba https://t.co/LcY1VAAOLb
@MJ_Busta Apparently, they don’t update street names either. Last year bills for houses on Calle #Aponte still showed old street name of Someruelos—a name it has not had since the 1930s and, of course, the name of the Spanish governor who ordered Aponte’s execution in 1812. #DigitalAponte
He also created a book of paintings, which he described in detail during his trial and which was lost sometime after his execution in Havana on April 9, 1812. #DigitalAponte #VisionaryAponte #LaHabana500

Do you know artist Jose Antonio Aponte? The 19th Century #Cuba #Afrofuturism Painter whose visions+art ultimately cost him his life. You ask, what on Earth could be so frightening? #DigitalAponte on view @KJCC_NYU @Adita_Ferrer Artist Édouard Duval-Carrié https://t.co/W5s7mBHlT6
