Carlos Garaicoa is a Cuban contemporary artist, specializing in photography and installations. Garaicoa became a prominent Cuban artist in the nineteen-nineties after a massive exodus of artists who had played a decisive role in the Cuban art movement of the nineteen-eighties. His pieces often carry social and political commentaries about life in Havana. Garaicoa’s work is known to draw on post-modernist theory to connect aesthetics to meaning within urban spaces and architecture.
