“Detrás del Muro” is a socio-cultural project that emerged in 2012 as a special project. It is recognized for the high socio-cultural impact that its artistic intervention on the Havana Malecon has had during the 11th (2012) and 12th (2015) editions of the Biennial of Havana.
So far this project, which in the second edition was considered a collateral sample of the Biennial of Havana, has had a great impact on the community of the intervened space, as well as among the specialized public for the variety of artistic proposals presented in each one of the editions, the interactive nature that the event has acquired, the capacity to call it, as well as the interrelation, commitment and involvement it has had with other institutions and cultural groups in its own production (such as, for example, the Office of the Historian of the City, The Master Plan of the Office of the Historian, the Malecón Plan, the Ballet of Litz Alfonso, among others).
Since then, it has contributed to the artistic production itself through the granting of creative scholarships to young artists (he has awarded scholarships for Cuban artists in collaboration with the Cuban Arts Foundation in 2013, Vermont Scholarship to Duvier del Dago and Rachel Valdés, in to the year 2015, the Vermont Scholarship to Elizabeth Cerviño and Jorge Wellesley) and of an Artistic Creation Award in the VISUARTE event, organized by the UNEAC of the city of Cienfuegos.
At the same time it has contributed to the development of thought and criticism about contemporary art, as well as to the literary and audiovisual production of arts in Cuba through the Editorial Seal Detrás del Muro. So far, two books have been edited in charge of collecting the current work of the participating artists in the first and second edition of the artistic intervention, these are sources of reference to study contemporary Cuban art; Two documentaries were produced about the project, the first of which was shown at the International Latin American Film Festival in Havana and at the Du Film Sur Festival L’Art, Montreal.
