Human Rights Watch community briefing
March 3, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
On May 13th 2022, we hosted Human Rights Watch and briefed community leaders on the Repression of Cuban Artists. The conversation was led by curator Carolina Barrero and Human Rights Watch advocate and researcher Juan Pappier about their experiences, what’s happening now, and what the art community can do to help.
We discussed how the Cuban government has systematically targeted Cuban artists, including, more recently, those who participated in the July 11 protests. Several dozen have reportedly been arrested, detained, or placed under house arrest. Some remain in detention and face criminal charges while others have been forced to exile.
