Since 1959, Cuba established itself as an independent socialist country that is managed by one party, the Cuban Communist Party. Unfortunately- like many communist countries- Cuba inevitably came to support laws that restrict human rights, especially those of artistic expression; Cuba’s legal systems restrict and censor freedom of expression, association, and press. Nevertheless, Cuba has always nurtured numerous art and artists.
The Cuban regime states that their laws, in fact, support freedom of artistic expression as long as it is aligned with their Socialist ideals. In other words, artistic expression is permitted as long as it is within the boundaries of the state. For example, Fidel Castro supports ICAIC, a state-run Cuban Film Institute.
