En la Cuba de 2022 para ser revolucionario es necesario ensuciarse las manos. Rosibel, su hija y el perro de la familia, resisten al asedio de una turba enardecida que se ha congregado frente a su vivienda para repudiarla. Lo que comienza como un tradicional mitin de repudio contra una madre cubana disidente finalmente hace visible la letra pequeña del contrato de la Revolución Cubana.

Marco Castillo

Marco A. Castillo is one of the founders of the artistic collective Los Carpinteros, and his work is imbued with an interest in Cuba’s history and the social and cultural changes in the country after the Revolution. Castillo has extensively researched architecture, design and sculpture, which are fundamental parts of his artistic practice as he tries to create installations, drawings and sculptures that relate to space and negotiate between the functional and the non-functional, often expressed in a humorous way. Even in his first works, it is apparent that Castillo’s work is one of the most important and internationally influential of the Latin American continent of the last twenty years.
