One year after the cry for freedom
People dedicated to independent art in Cuba fight daily to show their works and express through them the crisis that exists in a country where the regime does not support any type of free expression of those who do not share its political ideology. Censorship is extreme and artists suffer great difficulties in marketing their work or showing it in public. Many have had to use pseudonyms or even go into exile in other countries to be able to make visible what is really happening in Cuba.
“One year after the Cry of Freedom” is an exhibition that brings together 12 works by artists from Cuba, some of these people are still in the country and trust that one day they will be able to show their art without fear of reprisals. However, the regime has intensified its harassment of those people dedicated to independent art who try to obtain income by selling their works in public spaces, taking increasingly drastic measures of persecution and harassment.
Through this exhibition, independent artists defend their rights and show the world what is happening in Cuba without fear of reprisals. This exhibition gives them the opportunity to share their art and their truth with the world, despite the frustration they have suffered from censorship.
