d d d Cuerta investigates historical memory with the mechanisms of socio-cultural persistence within the marginalised history of the Korean diaspora in Cuba. The title, Spanish word for “rope,” serves as a primary metaphor for the “intangible bonds” of two cultures. It evokes the anchor ropes that secured the ships of the first Koreans who arrived in Cuba—symbolising both a physical link to a new homeland and a resilient thread of identity passed down through six generations.
