Art in Uncertain Times: Photography, Cuba, and Freedom | A Conversation with Monica Moltó

In this episode, I sit down with Monica Moltó, a Cuban photographer now living in New York. We talk about photography as a way of capturing the present moment, and about what it means to create when freedom feels fragile.

Monica shares parts of her story publicly for the first time, including her family’s experience with political repression in Cuba and how that history continues to shape her relationship to fear, expression, and visibility.

Our conversation also explores the parallels she sees between her past and what many are witnessing in the United States today, including how systems like ICE influence the way people speak, move, and create. This is not a debate. It’s a conversation about memory, power, and choosing to keep making art when certainty disappears.


Keep up with Monica Moltó:
