Opening October 30, 2025, in the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion at the Otto G. Richter Library, “The Telenovela Archives: Serialized Fiction in Cuba Before the Revolution” uses visual evidence from the period—including photographs, advertising materials, books, periodicals, films, videos, and more—to explore and preserve the history of the telenovela and other serialized drama formats in Cuba and Latin America.
Curated from the extensive holdings of the Cuban Heritage Collection and the Telenovela Archives, the exhibition is a tribute to Cuban creators and an opportunity to understand their cultural impact across the continent and for generations to come.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Canada Council for the Arts, the London Arts Council, the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Western Ontario, Triana Media, and Cinemateca Brasileira.
