The awards ceremony for Post-it 11<\/strong>, the Contemporary Cuban Art Competition, organized by the Direcci\u00f3n de Galer\u00edas de Arte Collage Habana under the Cuban Fund of Cultural Assets, was held on Wednesday, November 27.<\/p>\n

According to the Cuban Fund of Cultural Assets, after an in-depth analysis of the contemporary Cuban visual arts scene, the jury selected the following winners:<\/p>\n

First Prize and Acquisition Award:<\/p>\n

De la serie \u00a1Arriba las manos!<\/strong> by Mar\u00eda Fernanda Chac\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

This piece was commended for its innovative reinterpretation of a canonical theme in Cuban art, its bold use of symbolism, and the refined poetic sensibility of its metaphor. It stood out for its sensitive treatment of collective history, its skillful construction of informative narratives, its updated use of materials, and its exquisite craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Second Prize:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Diario visual<\/strong> by Kevin S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n

This work was praised for its technical challenge to contemporary photographic practices, its impeccable scenographic composition in each image, and its ability to bridge personal and collective memory. The result is an intimate, evolving piece that reflects on social microstructures.<\/p>\n

Third Prize:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Fiestas populares<\/strong> by Alejandro Ca\u00f1er.<\/p>\n

The jury highlighted this piece for its audacious procedural approach, its break from conventional formats, its creative recycling of traditional cultural forms, and its clever, ironic modernization.<\/p>\n

Special Distinction:<\/p>\n

Nombre del a\u00f1o<\/strong> by Hanzer Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n

This work was recognized for its sharp critique of time as a standardized tool of power and political propaganda. It incisively challenged linear, mass-produced narratives of history and achieved an eloquent integration of text, image, and sound.<\/p>\n

The jury, which convened on Tuesday at the Galer\u00eda Galiano, was composed of renowned figures from the Cuban art scene: Rafael Zarza, recipient of the 2020 National Plastic Arts Award; Nelson Herrera Ysla, a writer, art critic, and curator who has received the National Criticism Award (2007) and the Curatorship Award (2013); Claudia Laguna, curator at the Ludwig Foundation; and visual artists David Beltr\u00e1n and Jos\u00e9 Emilio Fuentes, also known as Jeff.<\/p>\n
