 Cuba

Socialismo o muerte (Socialism or death) is a one of the radical slogans popularised by the communist Cuban authorities.

I visited Cuba twice: in 2007 and 2009. During these trips I wanted to confront my own experiences of communism remembered from my childhood in Poland with Cuban socialist present reality. I also wondered how ordinary people are doing in Castro’s utopian (sur)reality.

This travel was also a search for a natural world free of our ordered and globalised customs. I admired impoverished and intimidated by its own government Cubans who find freedom in their cultural diversity so exceptionally expressed in music and dance.
