Like the 1950’s autos here is the Havana that most people expect…until they see it. Too long locked up behind forbidden doors and heated rhetoric…yet known and visited by the rest of the world…I spent 11 days in Cuba on a People-to-People educational exchange program. Cuba is an amazing anachronism and amalgam of cultures, eras and ethnicities. I was captivated by the colors, the verve, the creative energy and human ingenuity and resilience of the people. Image files spilled into my computer upon my reurn and I am still daunted by the myth and mystery of this island nation so geographically close and so not understood. Perhaps this portfolio and future exhibitions will shed light.
