On Wednesday, September 24 several alumni of the Tisch Special Programs study abroad program in Havana, Cuba had the opportunity to reunite with a very special visitor to New York.
Helmo Hernandez, President of the Ludwig Foundation in Havana, is in town for the month and the event was a chance for alumni of the program to reconnect and reminisce with Helmo and fellow alumni. Helmo is an art historian and specialist in visual arts, theatre, and cultural policy and development; curator and critic. He teaches classes to our students at the foundation which serves as a hub for young artists who study, display their work, and network there.
The Office of Special Programs hosted the event here on the 12th floor of 721 Broadway and all who attended were thrilled to get a chance to meet with their Cuban mentor and discuss the unique country's life and art and their time in the program.
You can read more about the Ludwig Foundation here and about the study abroad program in Havana here.
