Under capitalism, even love has become a commodity and desire has become the driving force of a market obsessed with growth. The idea that violence is the last taboo of the modern welfare state is the antithesis of ‘Army of Love’ –– an open and international project, which radically reconquers the body and consciousness of its participants and asks: can love be a new kind of work? In Cuba, we meet 10 members of ‘Army of Love’, who give it a try. These include, students, pensioners, transgender sex workers and people with disabilities –– an inclusive group of people who we meet at work and at a beach in Havana, where they perform a ritual in the sea of love. Ocean of Love is part of a continuing multidisciplinary project, which is an open and participatory form recruits new soldiers in the name of love for training programmes and workshops.
