Edel Rodriguez picked up a brush and told the world his truth.
In this soul-stirring episode of AW Confidential, we sit down with renowned Cuban-American artist Edel Rodriguez, whose iconic cover art has appeared in TIME, The New Yorker, and beyond. From escaping Cuba as a child to becoming one of the boldest visual truth-tellers of our time, Edel shares his journey of exile, identity, and creative defiance.
This conversation dives deep into the power of visual storytelling, what freedom means when you’ve had it taken from you, and how art can spark conversations that words sometimes can’t.
Expect vulnerability. Expect courage. Expect truth bombs.🎙️ Because on AW Confidential—nothing is confidential.
