The Cuban government once again, in order to frustrate every activity or manifestation that represents individual freedom, has released, through the auspices of the National Council of Plastic Arts, a twisted statement that attacks the “Espacio Aglutinador” gallery, that represents the outstanding plastic artist Sandra Ceballos where we were going to appear as guest artists.
Obviously, for the part relating to us, it would be our desire to state a totally irreverent, anti-political, anti-Castroite show that would annoy the autocracy. Four ourselves, we too are annoyed by the propaganda shows with their overly political content that you, Mister Communists, give to any activity, artistic and non-artistic the length and breadth of this entire archipelago any hour and time you wish. Don’t you think it’s fair that we should get to play once in a while?
The statement is manipulative, aberrant, decadent and marked by a Stalinist-Castroite sense. We believe, in order to feel ourselves to be free people, that we have the right to invite whom we want to our show, and for the show to be open door like every normal exposition of plastic and musical arts, including being open to any personnel representing the security services, the state or the party who may be passing by.
For our part, we will continue resisting all this demagogic shit.
