I have a good friend, with whom I have been collaborating a lot for years due to work and study issues. She is in her last year of Visual Arts at the Instituto Superior de Artes (ISA).
This time, one of the places we visited for her thesis was a neighborhood in Guanabacoa.
Guanabacoa is that place where Cubans, especially the people from Havana, usually send you to go if things in life are not going too well, haha. The reason behind this is the Yoruba practice, which is said to be always in demand in this part of the capital.
But we didn't go for that, for the record! 😂
So, already being there, I decided to take some pictures of the barrio we visited.
As you will see in the pictures, the tendency is to be a place with pronounced degrees of deterioration. And yes, that's the way Havana is, it's true.
The children, when they saw me with a camera, asked me if I was "Yuma", that is, if I was a foreigner. That always causes me a little embarrassment, because it is very sad to think that we are very few who can have this type of equipment, for economic reasons, so most people will associate you with someone with high income or from another country. (In my case, neither of the two things).
Anyway, here I leave you this little piece of Havana, not as visited as others of our spaces.😉
