The Association NOEMI - Fondation Brownstone is proud to have presented the first solo exhibition in Paris by renowned Cuban artist Esterio Segura, titled Émigrants. This exhibition is accompanied by the launch of his book Hybrid of a Chrysler. A Provocation to Fly, and together they form a deeply personal and symbolic exploration of migration, memory, and longing.

Émigrants brings together sculptural and graphic works that reflect the dreams of those who leave their homeland behind. The artist uses stylized car forms—some inspired by actual toys once owned by children who fled Cuba during Operation Peter Pan, others tied to the fall of the Berlin Wall—as metaphors for historical rupture and imagined futures. These hybrid vehicles become powerful symbols of utopian desire and unattainable escape.
