‘The Empty Plaza / La Plaza Vacia’ is a 2012 single-channel video by Coco Fusco.

The work combines contemporary footage with archival recordings, still photography, and poetic narration by Cuban journalist Yoani Sánchez.

Fusco traces the plaza’s transformation from a symbol of revolutionary optimism to a site associated with surveillance, repression, and unfulfilled promises.
