Casa Negra. Marco A. Castillo

About

Marco Castillo and his family have lived in exile in Mexico since 2019. For the time being, he cannot travel to his native Havana. His new exhibition at KOW turns the spotlight on the censorship and repression regime in Cuba, which has grown more severe in recent years. What sets it apart from the exertion and impact of violence in some other autocracies is its—well, we might say: more participatory nature. It isthe expression of a “good,” left-wing government and its dedicated citizens, whose joint measures of coercive domestic political violence have drawn little international attention.
