Created in 1982, at the height of the Cold War, Baby War Tank reflects an era in which military ideology permeated both international politics and everyday life. In Cuba, compulsory military service, civil defense campaigns, and the constant rhetoric of external threat shaped the experience of an entire generation, while the island was deeply involved in international conflicts, including its military engagement in Angola. By transforming a baby stroller into an instrument evocative of a military vehicle, Pedro Pablo Oliva juxtaposes the innocence of childhood with the omnipresence of war, suggesting how violence and militarization become embedded within the social fabric from the earliest stages of life. Rather than depicting conflict directly, the work employs metaphor to explore the psychological consequences of living in a society defined by ideological confrontation and perpetual preparedness for war.
