Anamely Ramos González is a Cuban art curator and activist. She was born on January 22. She is one of the most visible faces of the San Isidro Movement (MSI) to which she belongs.
Graduated from the University of Havana with a degree in art history, she worked for twelve years as a professor and researcher at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), from which she was expelled. Since January 10, 2021, she has been pursuing a PhD in Anthropology at the Ibero-American University (IBERO) in Mexico. Anamely herself stated that the authorities harassing her warned her that there was no future for her in Cuba and advised her "for her own good" to leave the country to stop being a problematic case for them.
Anamely was among the activists of the MSI who took refuge on November 16, 2020, at Damas 955, in Old Havana, advocating for the release of the dissenting rapper Denis Solís and calling for freedom of expression as well as an end to censorship and repression against all those who hold an ideology independent of the Cuban government. On November 25, 2020, she announced that she was joining the hunger strike carried out by several of her colleagues.
In February 2021, Ramos was part of a group of artists, activists, and representatives of Cuban civil society who attended a virtual meeting of the European Parliament for freedom and an end to repression on the island. Also present were Yotuel Romero, Willy Chirino, jazz musician Arturo Sandoval, Gente de Zona, Maykel Osorbo, scientist Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, among others.
Anamelys is one of the activists who has most vocally opposed the management of the Cuban government through her Facebook page. She has described the acts of repudiation against Cuban activists as "state crimes" and has criticized the political-economic elite that clings to power in Cuba, calling it a "mafia without ideology that impedes the freedom and progress of the country and its citizens". Ramos advocated before the European Parliament for the legalization of independent projects and associations as a means to regenerate the social fabric that has been lost in Cuba, fostering healthy work relationships and creating networks of solidarity without being vulnerable to state control.
