Co-curated by Anna Gritz and Léon Kruijswijk, and with curatorial assistance by Linda Franken, Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island presents the work of Cuban-American artist Coco Fusco, spanning over 30 years, with videos, photographs, texts, installations, and performance pieces.
In her work, the artist reflects on intercultural and social dynamics and the ways the Other is constructed, based on post-colonial discourses and psychoanalytic theories. Along these lines, Fusco developed artistic projects on various topics, such as ethnographic exhibitions, animal psychology, sexual tourism in the Caribbean, working conditions in free trade zones, suppressed colonial records of indigenous struggles and military interrogation techniques used in the war on terrorism. Her most recent works focus on the relationship between poetry and Cuban revolutionary politics.
Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island was on display from September 14, 2023 to January 7, 2024 at KW in Berlin (Germany).
