Abstract
This research explores how Afro-Latinx individuals in Cuba understand and attempt to reconcile the intersections of their identities to combat experiences of racism. Further-more, this research contends that moving beyond identity politics and towards the libera-tory processes of coalition-building with collective consciousness through art activism, art activists can work together to promote change within their respective communities.
