The New Cubans, the new book by Jean-François Bouchard will be presented by André Frère Éditions during Paris Photo and exhibited until December 20th at the Galerie Blouin Division in Montreal. It is accompanied by these words.
The New Cubans is an intimate, visual journey through Cuba’s vibrant yet little-known subcultures where, thanks to increased internet access and social liberalization, alternative youth communities are exploring gender diversity and personal expression through street art, performance, non-conformity, fetish culture, and fashion.
For this series, Jean-François Bouchard collaborated closely with Devon Ruiz, known as the “Queen of Havana,” who opened doors to a side of Cuba few outsiders ever see. Photographed in private homes and off-the-beaten-path, these striking images capture personal moments and the collective experience of Cuba’s younger generation as they creatively thrive despite significant economic hardships and widespread migration.
