Hamlet Lavastida is a Cuban artist, based in Berlin. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro and the University of the Arts (ISA) in Havana. Lavastida’s videos, collages, drawings, and public art explore the visualization of state ideology, reinterpreting the role of Cuban political rhetoric and iconography in public culture, and focusing on the ways that Cuban propaganda shapes and distorts history. His work has been shown at the fifth Kyiv Biennial (Vienna, Austria), Documenta 15 (Kassel, Germany), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), Kunstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Center of Contemporary Art Łaźnia (Gdańsk), and Center of Contemporary Art, Zamek Ujazdowski (Warsaw) among others.
