Guayabera (1995) is an early and representative work by Los Carpinteros, in which the collective addresses-through conceptual precision and formal clarity-the relationship between object, identity, and everyday culture. The guayabera, an emblematic Caribbean garment, is reinterpreted not simply as clothing but as a symbol charged with social, historical, and political resonance. The work reflects the group's sustained interest in transforming functional elements into vehicles for visual and conceptual inquiry, shifting them from quotidian use into the realm of art. This intersection of design, architecture, and cultural commentary establishes the foundations of the language that would later define Los Carpinteros' international trajectory. Founded in Havana in 1994, Los Carpinteros is widely regarded as one of the most influential collectives in Cuban contemporary art, recognized for its critical investigation of social systems, space, and objects.
