Cuba’s president Raul Castro has relaxed the travel restrictions for Cubans, and Nordic Light has therefore taken this opportunity to invite a group of Cuban photographers to Kristiansund. Adrián Fernández Milanés, Pedro Abascal, Leysis Quesada Vera, Raul Cañibano Ercilla, Irolan Maroselli Vilasuso, Liudmila Velasco and Nelson Ramírez de Arellano will all exhibit their pictures.
Cuba’s unique history, a result of Spanish colonization followed by American and Russian dominance, continues to make its mark on the country and its economy. Modern Cuban life is also intertwined with history, and we can therefore expect that House of Cuba will reflect some of this unique history. The joy of life, the dancing, the music, the sensuality and lust for life, the daily heroic struggle for a dignified life, the laughter, the curiosity, the sheer diversity and its strong contrast to life in Norway. The photographs are curated by Anne Lise Flavik, Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, who have arranged photography workshops for the last two years in Havana. Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb will also be part of the exhibition.
