HAVANA, CUBA
What is CUBA?
Cuba is a carefree capital knows for its layered history and culture. The city is described as a colourful canvas, which you can paint with exuberant colours. The culture in Havana can best be described as Afro-Cuban, referring to the mixing of customs brought over by African slaves with existing Hispanic traditions. Havana culture is even more varied considering that these Hispanic traditions were themselves a combination of native island culture and that of the Spanish colonisers.

1. PRINTS
Almendrón is the affectionate name (with certain ironic and critical shades), which is given in Cuba to old cars, (rather, very old, according to the notion of excessiveness which also describes us). The name is suggestive of these cars’ hard bodyworks and the vital determination that they have to go on running and cannot break, just like the hard kernel of an almond. photographer Alain Gutiérrez
