MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Associate Professor Roberta Friedman’s upcoming visit to Cuba to showcase her new video installation created in conjunction with her video partner, Dan Loewenthal, at the sixth annual International Videoart Festival in Camaguey, is, in filmmaker’s parlance, the “inciting incident” for this story. Friedman, along with another MSU associate professor, Beverly Peterson, are at the leading edge of a détente with the communist nation with their participation in the festival. But, the real story is in the work Friedman will be showcasing – “49 Waltzes for the Motor City: Detroit.” Read the full article https://themontclarion.org/entertainment/the-cuba-connection/.
