 CELEBRATED CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONER, EL SEXTO, TO PREMIERE ART SHOW IN SAN 
 FRANCISCO AND BEGIN HUNGER STRIKE\n\nDanilo "El Sexto" Maldonado Machado's 
 'ANGELS & DEMONS' exhibit will premiere in San Francisco's new 
 up-and-coming art district, Dogpatch, on May 11th from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. 
 Immersive Art Lab presents the exhibit as their inaugural event in 
 cooperation with the Human Rights Foundation's 'Art in Protest' series. The 
 series will include works he completed while jailed in Cuba's maximum 
 security prison, Combinado del Este.\n\nANGELS & DEMONS is the first event 
 in the Human Rights Foundation's Art in Protest series. Curated by HRF's 
 Holly Baxter and produced by the artist's representative, Adam D'Arcy, El 
 Sexto's unique paintings and drawings will be on display from May 11-24. 
 The show is presented in collaboration with Immersive Art Lab as the 
 inaugural event at their 3255A 3rd Street location in San Francisco's 
 Dogpatch district. The exhibition space is designed by Jenny Boyle at JBI 
 Designs and constructed by Ben Morgenstern's team at Immersive Art 
 Lab.\n\nOn May 11, Angels & Demons will feature a performance by El Sexto 
 as he enters a replica of the prison cell he was held in Combinado del 
 Este. As a message of solidarity with the people of Cuba, as well as other 
 political prisoners around the World, including Chinese, Russian, Turkish, 
 and Venezuelan prisoners of conscience, El Sexto will enter the cell during 
 opening night and remain there for three full days on hunger strike, 
 consuming only water. Guests to the exhibit will be able to view El Sexto 
 through the bars of the prison cell as he lives and creates another round 
 of drawings. El Sexto wishes to raise awareness and recognition to the 
 sacrifice made by other brave individuals, such as China's Liu Xiaobo (the 
 world's only imprisoned Nobel Laureate), and Leopoldo Lopez, the imprisoned 
 leader of Venezuela's democratic opposition.\n\nFree\n
