The Cubalaya Project - Arena de Evolucion, Biennial of Havana

Video from an encounter in Cuba "In the 1800s, they traveled from the Philippines to Cuba on Spanish ships. In their genes, they carried a distinctive variation coming from Indonesia, Malaysia and Sumatra. Arrived in Cuba, they were crossbred with European breeds and grew into the only native Cuban species since 1939. We are talking about the Cubalaya, proud symbol of Cuba. But only to become extremely rare and to be almost crossbred into extinction. The species, however, survived in the United States. Now it returns to Cuba as a valuable genetic element in my Cosmopolitan Chicken Project, an international artistic crossbreeding scheme. Project and species need each other to survive. In Havana, I will illustrate my faith in the power of evolution, not revolution, with a site-specific installation."
