Description

Raúl Cañibano grew up in both Havana and the eastern part of the country, and in 1998 he returned to the east to develop his series Tierra guajira (Country Land), a project strongly linked to his childhood memories. There, rural life and labor remained little changed despite the vast social and political waves that had swept across the nation in the intervening years.

 

Raúl Cañibano creció entre La Habana y la región oriental de Cuba. En 1998, regresó a esta última para desarrollar su serie Tierra guajira, un proyecto íntima- mente ligado a sus recuerdos de infancia. A pesar de las diversas reformas sociales y políticas que habían tenido lugar en el país en los años transcurridos, en esa zona la vida y el trabajo rural han cambiado poco.
