Carlos Martiel

“Dictadura” (Dictatorship) is the title of the performance that Cuban artist Carlos Martiel presents as part of “Time Sensitive – Pinta Projects.” Martiel aims to reflect on the history of dictatorship in Latin America and the diversity of the Latin and Latino communities in Miami. In his performance Martiel shows himself naked and
tied to a flagpole, while at the same time a flag is raised. He will present the same performance for the duration of the art fair, each day with a different flag. The flags will be taken from the 21 Latin American countries that were (or still are) under a dictatorial regime, in some instances supported by the Western Hemisphere
Institute for Security Cooperation, also known as the School of the Americas.
