In her work, Sandra Ramos (b. Havana, Cuba, 1969) makes political and social comments on contemporary issues that are part of her reality, such as migration, social injustice, the environmental crisis and political corruption. Using a wide range of mediums that go from engraving to installation, she makes reference to familiar characters from universal literature, political cartoons, history and folklore.
