November 27, 2021 marks a turning point in over six decades of political oppression in Cuba. 300+ intellectuals, artists and journalists convened that day at the Ministry of Culture in Havana to demand the recognition of their rights and freedoms as citizens'; and to reject State violence, which has been carried out for years and has increased in recent months. 27N arose out of the need to advocate for demands that were expressed that day, and their desire to participate in the present and future of Cuba. The Cuban government institutions promised a dialogue that never happened but instead ended in more retaliation towards the opposition. Cuba’s much needed change depends on a more participatory citizenry with greater degree of awareness that the political and economic future of this country depends on everyone. These series of posters are inspired by and dedicated to all those who risk their freedom and their lives every day in Cuba, demanding that their voices are heard and their human rights respected.
