How mirrored is the geopolitics of Cuba and Taiwan? ft. Humberto Diaz and Esther Lin
Today on Taiwan Uncovered, I am bringing you part two of my interview with Cuban artist Humberto Diaz and Taiwanese artist Esther Lin. Both have been part of a wider exchange between artists and creatives from Cuba and Taiwan.
The exchange loosely started with Taiwanese writer Huang Chong-kai's (黃崇凱) novel 'The Formosa Exchange'. Humberto went on to host both Chong-kai and Esther in Cuba. Humberto then came to Taipei and did an installation called 'Parallel Universes 2023' that was part of the exhibition 'Mirroring Now - the Southern Image' at Waley Art, in mid-November. Both Esther and Humberto also featured as speakers in the discussion hosted by Artgong (藝術宮) on November 28, titled: 'We Both Have a Big Neighbour: the Mirrored Geopolitics of Cuba and Taiwan'.
In today's episode, we discuss: how mirrored is the geopolitics of Cuba and Taiwan? Just how communist is Cuba? And how do attitudes and funding toward artistic careers differ in Cuba and Taiwan?
