Born Havana, Cuba 1969. Currently lives and works in Miami, Florida.

Sandra Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba, and was educated at the Elemental School of Visual Arts 20 de Octubre, at the San Alejandro Academy and at the Higher Art Institute (ISA), all in Havana.

Her work illustrates her views of the political and social contemporary context in Cuba and worldwide. Ramos takes elements and recognizable characters from political cartoons to comment humorously and daringly about that reality. Although it is an autobiographical work in many ways, it relates to a generational position, provoking dialogue among private and public, personal and collective memories. Ramos’ work can be found as part of the collection of prestigious museums and institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York, NY; The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Boston, Mass.; National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana, Cuba; National Royal Museum of Art, Ontario, Canada; Arizona State University Museum, Arizona; Grafik Museum Stiftung Schreiner, Bad Steben, Germany; Lehigh University Museum, Penn University, Philadelphia; Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Italy; Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; and Ludwig Forum fur Kunst, Aachen, Germany.

Sandra Ramos' Impossible Dialogues - Sumerian Disputations is a participative art installation that focuses on the polarized lack of civility affecting our interrelations in social media spaces. This installation resembles an Apple store, where technological products will be replaced by clay phones, tablets, and laptops with relief inscriptions of texts and images.

The pieces in this installation create a striking contrast between the ancient “Sumerian Disputes,” the oldest word battles of which we have written records on cuneiform clay tablets, and the numerous messages of intolerance and extremism in social networks today. This juxtaposition of ancient and modern communication technologies not only highlights the historical significance of our discourse but also underlines its contemporary relevance, compelling the audience to reflect on the evolution of communication.

At the heart of the installation is a workstation, a space for visitors to model, inscribe, and exchange their own clay tablets. The process of engraving the clay is deliberate and laborious, encouraging people to be more reflective about the content of their messages, and the impact they can have in the world.
