Hi, we are launching the Vlog for the Institute of Artivism Hannah Arendt.
As you know, the first 20 subjects have been picked by you.
Why the Institute of Artivism Hannah Arendt?
We have been asked why the Institute of Artivism Hannah Arendt?
The reason for that is
now is the appropriate time to open a space in Cuba
where citizens can exercise their rights
where each Cuban can say
and project their idea and their vision of the Cuba we are building.
Why Hannah Arendt?
Why Hannah Arendt?
Because she is a political philosopher,
that I highly recommend anyone to read,
who studied very deeply
concepts like totalitarianism,
like the mechanisms by which power
can put pressure on their citizens.
But texts, even when they are complex subjects, they are very easy to read.
Why Artivism?
Why Artivism?
Because we are fervent believers
that art is one of the possible tools
that help achieve social change
and we think that art together with activism
can be a way for Cubans to have a public voice.
Thanks for watching the first Vlog of the Institute of Artivism Hannah Arendt (INSTAR).
We do not have a lot of time so enter the kickstarter webpage,
and please make a donation and then tell all your friends
so they remember we are citizens;
so that together we can make your ideas into civic actions.
VERY special thanks to ALL THE FOUNDERS OF INSTAR
