Description of "Contemporary Art from Cuba: Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island" exhibition (September 27, 1998 - December 13, 1998) from Arizona State University: "In present day Cuba, humor has come to play an essential role in coping with the challenges of everyday life in the face of an uncertain national destiny. In September 1998, the ASU Art Museum opened Contemporary Art from Cuba: Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island , an exhibition of the work of 17 contemporary artists working in Cuba today.
These artists are young, ranging in age from 24 to 39; many of them are Afro-Cuban. While they are the generation that voices skepticism about the pieties of the socialist Revolution, they remain loyal Cubans. Included in the exhibition are Pedro Alvarez, Belkis Ayon, Abel Barroso, Jacqueline Brito, Yamilys Brito, Carlos Estevez, Rene Francisco, Carlos Garaicoa, Luis Gomez, Kcho, Los Carpinteros, Sandra Ramos, Fernando Rodriguez, Esterio Segura, Jose A. Toirac, Tonel (Antonio Eligio Fernandez), and Osvaldo Yero.
They comment on shortages, persistent racism, the manipulation of history, and the tragedy of the balseros who left on makeshift rafts, the contradictions between revolutionary rhetoric and present day Cuban reality." (source: Arizona State University Art Museum website)
