In the latest episode of Art Persists, we speak to interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco. Coco talks to us in depth about the historic oppression of artists in Cuba, which has accelerated since 2018 when the government introduced laws that stifle freedom of expression within the country. She tells us about her activism, advocating for the release of imprisoned artists in Cuba including her friend and fellow artist, Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, who has been imprisoned since July 2021. Coco also tells us more about her interdisciplinary work and writing and reflects on how the art scene has changed since the 80s.
