Anamely Ramos González is a Cuban art curator and activist. She was born on January 22. She is one of the most recognizable 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 Higher Institute of Art (ISA), from which she was expelled. Since January 10, 2021, she has been pursuing a doctorate in Anthropology at Ibero-American University (IBERO) in Mexico. Anamely herself stated that the repressors who harass her warned her that there was no future for her in Cuba and urged her "for her own good" to leave the country so she would no longer be a problematic case for them.
Anamely was among the MSI activists who took refuge on November 16, 2020, at Damas 955, in Old Havana, advocating for the release of the outspoken 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 being held by several of her colleagues.
In February 2021, Ramos was part of a group of artists, activists, and representatives of Cuban civil society who participated in a virtual meeting of the European Parliament for freedom and an end to repression on the island. Additionally, Yotuel Romero, Willy Chirino, jazz musician Arturo Sandoval, Gente de Zona, Maykel Osorbo, and scientist Ariel Ruiz Urquiola were among those present.
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, which she refers to as a "mafia without ideology that hinders 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 way to regenerate the social fabric that has been lost in Cuba, foster healthy working relationships, and create networks of solidarity without being left helpless under state control.
