Performance artist Tania Bruguera, who had her passport confiscated in Cuba after trying to stage a performance about freedom of expression in a public plaza in Havana, is back in the U.S., according to a statement issued by #YoTambienExijo, the art and activism program run by Bruguera and her sister Deborah.
The artist, an internationally known Cuban national who spends long spells working and teaching abroad, landed in New York City Friday to participate in the 2015 Yale World Fellows program, a leadership summit organized by Yale University. According to the statement, she was picked up by representatives from Yale at the airport.
