Libertad a Tania Bruguera / Free Tania Bruguera
2 de enero de 2015
General Raúl Castro Ruz
Presidente de la República de Cuba
La Habana, Cuba.
El día 30 de diciembre de 2014 la artista Tania Bruguera convocó a una nueva escenificación del performance El Susurro de Tatlin (Versión para la Habana) (2009) a ser presentado en la Plaza de la Revolución de la Habana, Cuba. La intención de la artista, que fue ampliamente comunicada por los medios, era propiciar un momento de reflexión y debate civilizado sobre los cambios que la sociedad y gobierno cubanos habrán de experimentar a partir del restablecimiento de las relaciones diplomáticas con Estados Unidos anunciado el pasado 17 de diciembre.
Vemos con honda preocupación que esa iniciativa no sólo no encontró eco de parte de las autoridades, sino que motivó la detención de la artista y una diversidad de ciudadanos cubanos. Con todo respeto, solicitamos a usted el descargo de Tania Bruguera y los demás detenidos. Bruguera es una de las artistas latinoamericanas más reconocidas alrededor del mundo, con una obra enfocada en la intervención social y política que es resultado, como ella misma lo ha manifestado repetidamente, de la formación que produjo la Revolución cubana. Estamos convencidos que su detención y la retención de su pasaporte son reacciones inadecuadas ante una obra artística que sólo buscaba crear un espacio público de discusión.
Respetuosamente,

ENGLISH VERSION
January 2nd, 2015
General Raúl Castro Ruz
President of the Republic of Cuba
Havana, Cuba
On the 30th of December 2014, the artist Tania Bruguera called for a public recreation of her performance artwork Tatlin’s Whisper (Havana Version) (2009) at the Plaza de La Revolución in La Havana, Cuba. The intention of the artist—extensively communicated by the media—was to generate a moment of reflection and debate about the changes that Cuba’s society and government should undergo as a result of the restoration of normal diplomatic relations with the United States, announced on December 17.
We are profoundly troubled by the fact that this initiative did not find a positive echo with the authorities and has led to the disturbing detention of the artist and more Cuban citizens. By this means, we respectfully ask for the release of Tania Bruguera and all other citizens detained. Recognized internationally as one of the most important Latin American artists, Bruguera’s work focuses on social intervention and politics; as she has noted on repeated occasions, her form of artistic engagement is a result of the education provided by the Cuban Revolution. We firmly believe her detention, and the withdrawal of her Cuban passport, are inappropriate responses to a work of art that simply sought to open space for public discussion.
Respectfully,
Cuauhtémoc Medina, Art curator and critic, Mexico
Andrea Giunta, Art historian, Argentina
Miguel López, Art curator and critic, Peru
Octavio Zaya, Art curator and critic, Spain and USA
