Freemuse’s partner, Cartel Urbano, has published a Spanish translation of our annual State of Artistic Freedom 2025 overview, along with the Latin American section titled Creating and Resisting Under Multiple Threats in a Turbulent Latin America. Written by Diana Arévalo, the section highlights how, in 2024, Cuba and Venezuela intensified crackdowns on artists and dissenters, while Nicaragua used forced exile and the revocation of citizenship to silence critics. In Mexico, Peru, Haiti, and Colombia, systemic violence and organised crime claimed the lives of at least 10 artists and cultural leaders.
