ONLINE BOOKING CLOSED
5th October 2009 at 14:00 BST
An exhibition of photographs taken in the Cayo Hueso district of Havana by British artist John Comino-James. Photographs from his book 'A Few Streets, A Few People/Pocas Calles, Pocas Personas' published by Dewi Lewis Publishing.
In 'Our Man in Havana' Graham Greene wrote that "to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and the city no longer exists except as a pain in the memory, like the pain of an amputated leg no longer there." Through engaged portraits and candid observation, John Comino-James explores the streets of Cayo Hueso, a neighbourhood of Havana. He builds an intimate and sympathetic record of a part of the city that is not only rich in its historical associations but also far removed from the better-known sights of Old Havana.
Monday 5 Oct to Friday 9 Oct
Opening times: 2pm - 6pm
Venue: Canning House Library
Free entrance
In collaboration with Cubacheche & Ola Latina, organisers of the festival Cultura y Cubania: www.culturaycubania.com
