Coco Fusco: The Empty Plaza/La Plaza Vacía
August 31, 2026–February 26, 2027
Coco Fusco’s The Empty Plaza/La Plaza Vacía (2012) layers sound and image as a way to reflect on Havana’s Plaza de la Revolución and its shifting meaning in Cuban public life. Combining contemporary footage with archival recordings, still photography, and poetic narration by Cuban journalist Yoani Sánchez, Fusco traces the plaza’s transformation from a symbol of revolutionary optimism to a site associated with surveillance, repression, and unfulfilled promises.
On view in the New Media Gallery on the Lower Level.
