STREET PORTRAITS
Afrocubanos documents a visual inquiry into the African influences on Cuban culture, captured from the perspective of a Black American interfacing with diasporic kin. The collection poses some of the chief questions surrounding Blackness, centered on the Cuban context: how does complexion correlate with esteem, resources, and opportunity? How do Black Cubans enrich, sustain, and subvert the dominant culture surrounding them? And in what precise ways does the Black experience intersect and diverge across the diaspora?
