Acting Out: Cuban Artists Challenge to the State. Artist Talk with Coco Fusco

Now Online! http://ici.berlin/events/acting-out/

Five of the videos in Coco Fusco’s exhibition Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island at KW were filmed in Cuba, where the artist has collaborated with local artists on a range of projects for over thirty years. The videos explore the fraught relationship between civic engagement and the Cuban state. Coco Fusco will be joined by Cuban artist and former political prisoner Hamlet Lavastida, and Cuban poet and essayist Antonio José Ponte for a discussion about Fusco’s work and the current state of artistic activism in relation to cultural politics in Cuba today.
