AUCKLAND, New Zealand — “This exhibition has been touring New Zealand for the last two years. It is a way we have found, through art, for people in this country to find out more about the Cuban Five,” Cuban Ambassador Maria del Carmen Herrera, said at Massey University’s Albany campus here Sept. 16.

Herrera was referring to “Humor From My Pen,” a collection of political cartoons by Gerardo Hernández, one of five Cuban revolutionaries arrested on frame-up charges in the United States in 1998.

The ambassador was speaking at the opening reception for the Latin American Film Festival on campus. The exhibition, at the university library, ran concurrently with the festival.

The 50 people present were welcomed by Kerry Taylor, head of Massey’s School of Humanities. He acknowledged Leonel Alvarado, the initiator of the event and head of the university’s Spanish-language program.

The next stop for the exhibition is Otago University in Dunedin from Oct. 3 to 24.
