How Long Have You Been Blind focuses on the events in Cuba of July 11, 2021, when the Cuban people staged the largest anti-government protests recorded since the revolutionaries took power in 1959. The protests were violently suppressed, resulting in 1,878 arrests. Through experimental uses of immersive technologies, this exhibition invites reflection on how the international public has long overlooked and underestimated the Cuban reality, one that lies in stark contrast to utopian visions that idealize the revolutionary project. The exhibition includes works by Hassan-Quintela collective, Camila Lobón, Kiko Faxas, and Yimit Ramírez, many of whom will be present at the inauguration on 14 November at 17-21h. All events are free and open to the public. The exhibition is curated by Forma Foco and ENTRE (Marilyn Volkman), and featured in Vienna Art Week’s Inciting Passion.
