BRONX, NY.- John Rowe, award-winning photographer and documentary filmmaker, and Manuel Mendive, Cuba's most renowned artist, collaborated on an exhibition of photographs, paintings and sculpture on view at The Bronx Museum of the Arts through November 4, 2018.

The two artists met in Cuba. Rowe saw Mendive leaving a performance of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, mutual friends connected them and Rowe was invited to Mendive’s home/studio outside of Havana, Manto Blanca. After seeing Rowe’s book OMO VALLEY Mendive invited Rowe to work together with a folk dance group in the rainforest of Cuba.

A second ballet exhibition is scheduled at the Gran Teatro for October 28, 2018.

Rowe's work in Africa focused on recording the life, changing cultures, and challenges of tribal people in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley.
