Tania Bruguera Arrested Twice in Cuban Censorship Law Protests; Threatens to Go on Hunger Strike.
"Bruguera’s sister, Deborah, along with friend Sofia Karim told us: ‘Tania is continuing in the fight against censorship and for the freedom of the other detained artists. We believe that the artists concerned have commenced a hunger and thirst strike. "
Shahidul's Slippers
You only ever wear slippers. Even to Black Tie events.
When, after your capture, I saw them dragging you barefoot, I flinched. Even your humble slippers were gone.
A few weeks ago, Amma dug out my great grandmother’s (your grandmother’s) sari. “Make your art with it,” she said “use your Boro Nani’s sari for something good.”
So this week I dug your London slippers out of our cupboard and made casts of them with Boro Nani’s sari and rice starch. And stitched the rips with threads pulled out of my mother’s old saris.
