The first monograph on the significant contemporary Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist and author Coco Fusco. Tomorrow, I will become an island is the first extensive study of Coco Fusco's performances, videos, and social practice. The book includes contributions from well-known scholars in art history, performance art, and Cuban political culture, as well as an essay by the artist herself. It offers a comprehensive overview of Fusco's interdisciplinary artistic practice and her transnational perspective on race, gender, and power.
For over three decades, Fusco has led discussions surrounding the intersection of identity, feminism, culture, and politics in America and beyond. Emerging in the 1980s as a pioneering advocate for multiculturalism in the arts, Fusco uses performances, videos, exhibition-making, archival research, and writing to reflect on how intercultural relationships and colonial histories shape the construction of self and perceptions of cultural difference.
- Her work has critically examined society from a postcolonial perspective, engaging in discussions about cultural politics across America, Europe, and beyond.
- This broad approach is highlighted through a wide range of works addressing issues such as post-revolutionary Cuba, racial stereotypes, feminist politics, animal psychology, ethnographic exhibitions, suppressed colonial narratives, military interrogation, and sexual tourism.
The book will accompany an international touring retrospective exhibition of the artist's work scheduled to begin in 2023.
