Supermalo
Description
To be jailed on a regular basis for the content of your art. To lack materials and colors for your vision. To be barred from art studios and venues because your art is not government sanctioned.These are some things that are unimaginable to a lot of artists, but something Fabian Hernandez has to go through everyday to continue making his art.
Cuban street artists are having their moment, and their fight against the countries harsh censorship laws has recently made international headlines. Fabian is one of the movement’s fearless and prolific leaders who's work speaks for a generation of young Cuban's who want to see change in their home country. You cannot walk for more than a few blocks without seeing his character, the Supermalo or his signature 2+2=5? painted on the crumbling walls of Havana. "Supermalo" documents the young artist's fight for creative freedom with one brush stroke a time.
