Unfinished Spaces screening on October 13
In celebration of Latino Heritage Month, Heritage and the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation will co-present a special screening of Unfinished Spaces, a documentary by Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray on the Cuban National Art Schools.
Conceived by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution, the Schools are considered among the greatest architectural achievements of the era. Unfinished Spaces illuminates the story of these forgotten buildings, including revived efforts in the late 1990s to preserve them.
Join Heritage for a screening of this remarkable film, followed by a conversation with San Francisco architect and architectural historian John Loomis, author of Revolution of Forms: Cuba’s Forgotten Art Schools (1999/2011), about the influence of the Revolution on Cuban cultural inheritance, architecture and design, as well as the challenges of historic preservation in Cuba. The event will be held at 11 a.m. at the Vogue Theater, located at 3290 Sacramento Street. Tickets are $10 for Heritage members and students and $12 for the general public.
