The exhibition “No (body) is an island” in Association NOEMI - Espace Brownstone
The Association NOEMI - Espace Brownstone proudly presented the first solo exhibition in Paris by renowned Cuban artist Mabel Poblet, titled “No(body) is an island”. Drawing inspiration from the 17th-century poem by John Donne, the exhibition explores the themes of isolation, human vulnerability, resilience, and the need for community in today’s globalized world.
Poblet’s multimedia approach—spanning photography, installation, video, and performance art—invites audiences into deeply personal and political spaces. Several pieces were created especially for the French context, while others were previously featured at the Venice Biennale and Chanel Nexus Hall in Japan.

Mabel Poblet
Cuban Contemporary artist
Mabel Poblet (born 1986 in Cienfuegos, Cuba) is a leading voice in contemporary Cuban art whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, photography, performance, installation, and kinetic sculpture. A graduate of Havana’s San Alejandro Academy (2007) and the Instituto Superior de Arte (2012), she trained under Tania Bruguera and has since participated in over 20 solo and 100+ group exhibitions worldwide . Her evocative, self-referential works—often luminous nude self-portraits overlaid with acetate flowers and mirrored fragments—explore themes of memory, identity, feminine experience, migration, and diaspora, reflecting her life as a Latina raised in Castro-era Cuba . Her works feature in renowned collections such as the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, Gilbert Brownstone Foundation, and the Contemporary Art Museum of Tampa, and she represented Cuba at the 2017 Venice Biennale
