Projects

elTOQUE

elTOQUE is an independent multimedia platform focused on telling Cuba in its diversity, complex, creative and also sometimes painful or hidden. elTOQUE does not respond to the interests of any political party or government, inside or outside the island. Demanding transparency from the Cuban government and its officials and keeping a watchful eye on power is fundamental to its daily work.

Legalis

Legalis is a platform that facilitates access to the wide and dispersed Cuban legislation, through functionalities that allow you to find, consult and download regulations published in the Gaceta de Cuba from 2009 to the present.

OMFi

The Cuban Currency and Finance Observatory (OMFi) offers information and analysis on the behavior of the Cuban exchange market and the evolution of financial indicators of the informal market and the economic context, prepared with accurate and timely data, supported by a rigorous methodology.

At pen point

A punta de Lápiz is an exhibition of graphic humor that summarizes the work of a group of graphic humor artists who, through the publications Xel2 and Matraca, have systematically made Cuban reality visible, with its deepest contrasts, shortcomings and, above all, struggle for democracy, rights and freedom in Cuba.
