This Thursday at 6:30pm, join us for the opening of Let Cuba Live, an exhibition bringing together artists who raise their voices in solidarity with the Cuban people at a critical moment.
At the heart of the exhibition is Primero de Mayo, a handmade tapestry by Tabitha K Arnold depicting the extraordinary International Workers’ Day commemorations in Havana. The exhibition also features original screenprints by other artists, to be announced.
These works speak to a moment that demands action. For over 65 years, the U.S. government has strangled Cuba’s economy with a brutal blockade, but in the last month, Trump has gone further to prevent Cuba from importing oil. This genocidal oil blockade will be measured in human suffering: families without power, hospitals facing impossible choices, children, the elderly, and the sick bearing the brunt of a policy that can only be described as economic warfare.
In moments like these, artists take up the call: building solidarity, demanding justice, and affirming the humanity and resilience of the Cuban people. Let Cuba Live calls on all people of conscience to raise their voices to reject this inhumanity and demand an immediate end to the blockade. Let Cuba Live!
***Prints of the artworks will be sold and funds donated to the effort to send solar generators and panels to Cuban hospitals!***
