PECUOD   in  Obsession / Entre,  Viena.      27 November 2021 - 8 February 2022

OBSESSION gathers and involves an entire spectrum of optimism and anxiety that has accompanied the lives of artists in Cuba since 2018, when Decree 349 severely restricted the cultural sphere. Following two years of escalating tensions, on 27 November 2020, more than 300 people assembled at the Cuban Ministry of Culture to reject state violence against artists and demand rights of artistic expression for all.  Since then, many artists have all but stopped making work to dedicate themselves to activism, while others have shifted the focus of their artistic practice toward the current crisis.
