65 Jahre Angriff auf Kuba: "Zu Ende bringen, was wir begonnen haben"

Die gescheiterte Invasion Kubas gilt als prägendes Ereignis des Kalten Krieges. Auch 65 Jahre später ist es politisch und emotional aufgeladen - und bekommt durch Präsident Trumps Rhetorik neue Bedeutung. Von Gudrun Engel.

21 aprile, roma, fondazione baruchello: crit #54 con fadl fakhouri e paul hutzli

Fondazione Baruchello presenta:

CRIT #54
Con Fadl Fakhouri e Paul Hutzli
Moderato da Fabiola Fiocco
In collaborazione con CASTRO

Martedì 21.04.2026
18:30–20:30
Via del Vascello 35, Roma

La Fondazione Baruchello, in collaborazione con CASTRO, ospita il prossimo appuntamento del programma CRIT, con Fadl Fakhouri (partecipante dello Studio Program #09 di CASTRO) e Paul Hutzli (in residenza presso l’Istituto Svizzero).

I CRITs sono occasioni d’incontro dove le artiste e gli artisti presentano il proprio lavoro, “offrendolo” alla critica collettiva. Durante l’evento, l’artista introduce brevemente l’opera o il progetto che ha scelto, lasciando guidare la discussione dai commenti, le prospettive, le domande dei partecipanti.

I CRITs si basano sull’idea che la riflessione con un gruppo di “pari” possa migliorare la pratica dell’artista, apportando un grado di obiettività alla dinamica perlopiù soggettiva e autoreferenziale del processo creativo privato.

CASTRO è un progetto educativo sperimentale ideato nel 2018 dall’artista Gaia Di Lorenzo. Si articola attorno a tre programmi principali: lo Studio Program, ospita ogni anno un gruppo di artisti e ricercatori; il Public Program, che consiste in una serie di eventi gratuiti e aperti al pubblico, come CRIT, conferenze e incontri con gli artisti e l’Academia Program, offre una serie di attività pensate per sostenere lo sviluppo di percorsi di apprendimento individuali, tra cui revisioni di portfolio, workshop, mentoring.

Dal 2023, CASTRO ha anche avviato una biblioteca incentrata sull’educazione alternativa e la pedagogia radicale, costruita collettivamente attraverso i contributi continui di artisti, ricercatori ed educatori, sia italiani che internazionali.

Today in Labor History April 13, 1953: CIA Director Allen Dulles launched the MKUltra mind control program. The program ran from 1953 to 1973. It involved giving human subjects LSD and other drugs, often without their knowledge. Then, researchers would try to “weaken” their minds and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. Over 7,000 U.S. war veterans were unwitting test subjects, as well as many Canadian and U.S. civilians. The program was a continuation of Nazi mind-control experiments, which utilized mescaline against Jews and Soviet prisoners, hoping it could be exploited as a “truth” serum. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor of the CIA, recruited many of these Nazi torturers in the wake of World War II to exploit their knowledge and research. MKUltra was headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, who later devised plans to kill Fidel Castro with an exploding cigar, and saturating his shoes with radioactive thallium to make his beard fall out. He also tried to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of Congo, with poison. Several well-known liberals and radicals knowingly participated in MKUltra and its OSS predecessors, either as test subjects (e.g., Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hunter), or as researchers (e.g., anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson). Others who have been alleged to have been victims or volunteers include Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczyinski, Charles Manson, and Whitey Bulger.

For a really fascinating look at Margaret Mead's and Gregory Bateson’s exploration with hallucinogens and their connection to federal spy agencies, check out the recent book, Tripping on Utopia, by Benjamin Breen. And for a truly amazing documentary on the 1961 CIA-supported coup in Congo, check out the 2024 documentary, “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat.” But the film is really about so much more than the coup. It covers Cold War machinations, propaganda, and covert operations in the early 1960s; the superpowers’ jockeying for control of puppet regimes and spheres of influence in the global south; the Pan-African movement; racism in the U.S., the Civil Rights movement, and the repression against it; and, of course, jazz music, including tons of interviews and live footage of Lumumba, Ghanian president and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah, activist and writer Andree Madeleine Blouin, Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Miriam Makeba, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, surrealist artist Rene Magritte.
