Museum of Dissidence in Cuba

 

Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara and the art historian Yanelys Nuñez are the authors of the Museum of Dissidence in Cuba (MDC), a dynamic online platform that holds reference files, blogs, an online gallery with a cultural interest, among other resources. It has been physically presented in different contexts offering spaces for dialogue and artistic creation. The Museum recontextualizes the concept of 'dissidence' and seeks to empower dissidents in their work as agents of social change. The MDC had its premiere during the El Ranchito-AECID-Artista X Artista Residency Program in Madrid, Spain from March 1st to April 15th, 2016.
