Cuba Dispatch: State Security rang about his US visaBackground
Anamely Ramos is a Cuban art curator and San Isidro Movement activist, an art history graduate of the University of Havana who taught for twelve years at the Instituto Superior de Arte before being expelled. She is now blocked from returning to Cuba and lives in Miami.
Her prominence as an exiled, internationally recognised activist connected to artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara makes her a channel Cuban State Security has used to monitor his case from outside the island, illustrated by its choice to route a call about his US parole application through her rather than contact him directly.
