Exhibitions
Abdala displayed her brightly colored "faux" paintings, at the 5th Havana Biennial (6 May to 30 June 1994).[4] The subject of the paintings was a combination of urban and rural Cuba, their mythologies, folk tales, and contrasts, featuring Abdala's personal anecdotes and dreams.[5] During the 7th Havana Biennial (November 2000 to January 2001) she created "We are not allone" an installation combining paintings of the female body, surrealist imagery, and photographs.[1]
Abdala has been featured in several prominent gallery shows, including the acclaimed exhibit "Kuba Ok", which had several pieces purchased and displayed by a patron in Germany.[6]
