¡Cuba, Cuba! Presented by The International Center Photography (ICP) at Southampton Arts Center, August 15 – September 7, 2015

“From the decadent Havana nightlife of the 1950s to the 1959 Revolution and its iconic leaders, to everyday life in contemporary Cuba, this exhibition provides an exciting, multifaceted portrait of the country, exemplifying the richness of Cuban culture, the strength of its people, and the complexity of its political history. As diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States are being restored, ¡Cuba, Cuba! offers a unique view into the island Christopher Columbus described as ‘the most beautiful land that human eyes have ever seen’.” — ICP
