The Minorista Group (Spanish: Grupo Minorista) was an avant-garde group of Cuban artists, writers, philosophers, poets, and others collectively called the "vanguard of the intelligencia," active during the 1920s that had an enormous influence on events in Cuban politics and society in the early half of the twentieth century.
[1][3] The Minorista Group was created after the events of the Protest of the Thirteen, which had been led by Villena, and came to challenge the administration of Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso.
[4] The original protest was against the sale of the Santa Clara convent by the government for corrupt purposes.
[5] The Minoristas were not only officially responsible for the creation of Revista de Avance, but also primarily held the leadership roles at the popular magazine Social.
This exhibit was intended to show a link between the Minoristas and the Dada movement.
