A tribute to George Floyd

The George Floyd edition
The George Floyd edition presents artworks by contemporary Cuban artists of different generations and covering various aesthetic concepts. They express on several medium (photography, painting, installation, etc.) and the list embodies a strident heterogeneity of Cuban art.
As the edition pays tribute to George Floyd (recently killed in Minneapolis victim of police brutality), we make a call to stop all acts of discrimination and intolerance of any type in Cuba, in the United States and all over the world.
