Cuba Workshops

We’re back in Havana!

Chicago Tonight’s Latino Voices on PBS Channel 11 did a wonderful 4 min piece on my photography retrospective on Cuba - Nick Blumberg and Phil Ponce captured the nuances often missing when talking about the country. I’m a behind-the-camera kind of person so to hear my name repeatedly on TV and by Phil Ponce - can’t pretend I’m used to it! 😳

I have always been impressed by Susan Aurinko. I learned her name and about her former gallery for years through the photography community. The universe is a mysterious place because having her now write a review of my show is a surreal and humbling moment. Thank you so much Susan. 🙏🏼

So Near and Yet So Far: A Review of "Enduring Ties, Resilience and Longing in Cuba" In the exhibition currently at The Chicago Center for Photojournalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Alex Garcia takes us on an insider’s journey to his family’s motherland, Cuba.
