Olaismo – unity, flow, and collective progress.
"Olaismo" is a conceptual art movement and term coined by the Cuban-born artist Diango Hernández. The term is derived from the Spanish word "ola", meaning "wave", symbolizing fluidity, movement, and the transient nature of ideas, cultures, and political systems.
Diango Hernández began his artistic practice in Cuba in 1994 as a co-founder of Ordo Amoris Cabinet, a group of artists and designers who focused on invented solutions for home design objects to compensate for a permanent shortage of materials and goods. His work was the subject of solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle, Basel (2006) and the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein (2007). He has exhibited in the Arsenale as part of the 51st Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and the São Paulo Biennial, both in 2006.
