Presented at MoMA in New York, *Wifredo Lam: When I Don’t Sleep, I Dream (en español)* situates Lam’s work within the city’s long relationship to modernism and Caribbean diasporic culture. The exhibition traces how his hybrid figures and dense iconography draw from Afro-Cuban spirituality, Surrealism, and the political pressures of the mid-20th century. Shown in an English-dominant museum context, the Spanish framing subtly shifts authority toward Lam’s own linguistic world. One clear takeaway is how his imagery resists easy classification, even now.
