All Day
Scott Lab 48
Las Krudas CUBENSI is a hip hop group from Havana, Cuba who has garnered much international attention for their work as artists: they are the first openly queer, feminist music group in Cuba. Krudas CUBENSI will discuss their arts-based activism and offer their perspectives on LGBT and Black feminist identity politics in contemporary Cuba. We will watch an excerpt of the documentary Gay Cuba before the discussion.
More information about the group can be found on their website:
