Esterio Segura’s series The Secret depicts clandestine satellite dishes variously camouflaged in Cuban homes, as simply as being wrapped in a garbage bag. For decades, Cubans have proven resourceful and persistent in finding ways to enjoy everything from American cartoons to television series to news, circumventing both technological updates and legal restrictions.
La serie de Esterio Segura Lo secreto muestra antenas satelitales clandestinas camufladas de diversas maneras en hogares cubanos, en ocasiones de forma tan simple como envueltas en una bolsa de basura. Durante décadas, los cubanos se las han ingeniado con astucia y persistencia para disfrutar desde dibujos animados estadounidenses hasta series de televisión y noticias, eludiendo tanto las actualizaciones tecnológicas como las restricciones legales.
