Queloides
''Queloides'' is an ongoing cultural and curatorial project in Cuban art that seeks to highlight the persistence of racist stereotypes and ideas of racial difference in Cuban society and culture. Initiated in 1997 by artist Alexis Esquivel and by art critic Omar Pascual Castillo, who organized the exhibit ''Queloides I Parte'', the project was later led by the late art critic Ariel Ribeaux Diago, who organized two important additional exhibits: ''Ni músicos ni deportistas'' (“Neither musicians nor athletes,” 1997), for which he wrote an award-winning essay, and ''Queloides'' (1999). Queloides or keloids are raised scars that, as many in Cuba believe, appear most frequently on the black skin. The title makes reference to the scars of racism, on the one hand, and to persistent popular beliefs that there are "natural" differences between whites and blacks.
