From Seed to Smoke: Uncovering Women's Roles in the Cigar Industry

Date: Thursday, May 16, 2024
Time: 7–8pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue

While our new installation Smoke Signals: Cigar Cutters and Masculine Values focuses on men and smoking culture, women have always been integral to the cultivation of tobacco and production of cigars. Learn about these contributions from the founders of Tres Lindas Cubanas Cigars, Yvette and Yvonne Rodriguez, as they share family stories and insights about Afro-Cuban women in the cigar industry during a conversation moderated by museum educator Susana Perez. Arrive early to enjoy a tour of Smoke Signals with curator Lea Nickless.

Co-presented with FIU's CasaCuba.
