Pirates & The disaster of Communism

Pirates from The “Disasters of Communism” collection seeks to convey a message about the horrors and tragedy that have accompanied communist regimes throughout history, prompting the viewer to reflect on the dangers of unrestricted power and the importance of protecting human rights and democracy. In this case, these works are directed directly at the historical and social impact of communism in Cuba and in different regions and moments in history, where communist regimes have killed more than 100 million people over the years. Currently in Cuba more than 1000 people are still imprisoned for asking for freedom on July 11, 2021 with prison terms of more than 10 years, the vast majority of them young and among them minors. This small island, just 90 miles from the United States, shelters the most bloodthirsty murderers in the region, including terrorists from ETA and from many countries around the world with the blessing of the European Union and some congressmen and left-wing parties in the United States. In any case, the work aspires to provoke dialogues and critical reflections on the power and importance of protecting freedom and human dignity in Cuba and the world.
