I would ask that any editors seeking to remove information about the artist's identity^[1] from this page consider its relevance to his work. For example, see this quote from Martiel in an interview: "My art is absolutely political. I couldn’t think of doing anything else because I was born in Cuba in the 1990s, because I am Black, because I have immigrant Haitian and Jamaican ancestry, because I am currently an immigrant, because I am queer, and because my art is the way I have found to express myself on the socio-political issues that not only affect my life, but those of others as well."^[2] The Foundation for Contemporary Arts writes about his work, "Martiel’s work addresses topics spanning structural racism and systemic violence against Black and immigrant bodies, criminalization of homosexuality and transsexuality, and political disfranchisement."^[3] The Guggenheim's commentary on one of his piece additionally notes this aspect of one of his works, "He drenched his nude body in blood donated by migrants and by Latinx, Afro-American, Muslim, Jewish, queer, and transsexual people—in short, those considered minorities or marginalized in the United States."^[4] --Peachseltzer (talk) 22:00, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
