Our campaigns protecting writers at risk

Voces Presas Incarcerated Voices

ARC – Artists at Risk Connection and PEN International, in partnership with Civil Rights Defenders (CRD), present Voces Presas (Incarcerated Voices), an international campaign highlighting the cases of Cuban artists who have been imprisoned, harassed, or forced into exile for their artistic expression.

Since its launch in 2022, the campaign has brought visibility to artists targeted for their critical voices and has contributed to international awareness and advocacy efforts, including in cases where artists have been released.
