Difficult questions such as the phasing out of our school in 2014, and teaching a class when one is unfamiliar with the subject are candidly answered by the collective school body.

The video was created with symbolisms drawn from the Occupy Wall Street movement. We see this in some of the signs students created in the work, as well as the video’s soundtrack.

Some of Roberto’s friends were in the show.

This is what the gallery said about the show:

“The thirteen artists featured in Queloides—Pedro Álvarez, Manuel Arenas, Belkis Ayón, María Magdelena Campos-Pons, Roberto Diago, Alexis Esquivel, Armando Mariño, René Peña, Marta María Pérez Bravo, Doulgas Pérez, Elio Rodriguez, Meira Marrero and José Toirac—offer a revisionist, critical reading of the history of Cuba that highlights the contributions of the Africans and their descendants to the formation of the Americas in general, and the Cuban nation in particular”. 100_0271 100_0273 100_0278 100_0279 100_0282 100_0285 100_0290 100_0310 100_0306 100_0286 100_0289 100_0296

The song, sung in Creole and English, deals with the discrimination people face with AIDS. The recording is a 4 part vocal set to the song “Where d’ya go?” by Fort Minor.
