Retrato de coyote con bacteria
A “bacteria”, as we call shirts with extravagant prints in Cuba
that became fashionable in the 90's, is the support where a series of elements coexist
that, although foreign to each other, are icons in the Latin American imagination.
Vintage cartoons, Asian prints and a tocororo image that reminds
landscapes and moments from the childhood of any Cuban, are related to modern ideas
like bitcoin or reggaeton. The Virgin of Guadalupe, patron saint of Latin America hanging
on the neck and the cafeteria where the character is portrayed, conclude by placing the
spectator somewhere on that continent, which, although varied, contains its own
identity.
