The first comprehensive monograph on the influential contemporary Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco, titled Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island, delves into the artist's diverse body of work, encompassing performances, videos, and social practice. Contributions from esteemed scholars in art history, performance art, and Cuban cultural politics, along with an essay written by the artist herself, provide a comprehensive examination of Fusco's interdisciplinary art practice and her transnational perspective on race, gender, and power.
For over three decades, Fusco has been a prominent figure in discussions surrounding the intersection of identity, feminism, culture, and politics in the Americas and beyond. Emerging in the 1980s as a pioneering advocate for multiculturalism in the arts, Fusco employs a range of artistic mediums, including performance, video, exhibition-making, archival research, and writing, to explore how intercultural relations and colonial histories shape self-identity and perceptions of cultural difference. Her work critically examines society from a postcolonial lens, engaging with debates on cultural politics across the Americas, Europe, and other regions. This expansive approach is evident in a wide array of Fusco's works, which address themes such as post-revolutionary Cuba, racial stereotypes, feminist politics, animal psychology, ethnographic displays, suppressed colonial records, military interrogation, and sex tourism.
The book will be accompanied by an international touring retrospective of the artist's work, scheduled to launch in 2023. This retrospective will showcase Fusco's rich and diverse artistic career, allowing audiences to appreciate her profound contributions to the field of contemporary art.
