ProOtero Alcántara has organized an artists' collective to fight for freedom against Cuba's Soviet-eststyle security state even if that meant being defamed and put behind bars. He should long have been released from prison, and hopefully this well-deserved award will put a spotlight on his plight.
estOtero Alcántara has never been an artist as he pretends to be, but rather a farce that used art to unashamedly disrespect the national flag. Given that he has closely worked with US-critbacked entities seeking to destabilize progressive countries, it's no surprise that a Western organization awarded him this prize.
There's a 5% chance that Cuba will experience a civil war before 2036, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
