Résumé

Résumé : Crumbling pastel-colored facades line its streets, parked vintage cars evoke times past, live music permeates the
air. Welcome to Havana, home to an overwhelming energy. Situated along the Straits of Florida, the capital of Cuba
has been through several identities: Spanish colonial settlement, mobster rule in the 1930s, glamour of the 1950s,
Cuban revolution and, most recently, a cultural renaissance. Havana’s bold, provocative approach to art, cuisine and
entertainment—as well as the eclectic blend of African, French, Spanish and North American influences—including
its range of architecture styles from the sixteenth century to the modern day, confer this epic city with a legendary
status on par with the world’s greatest cities. While some of the building are in disrepair, the beauty of the baroque,
neoclassical and art deco features triumphs. The iconic Copa Room cabaret that hosted Ginger Rogers and Abbott
and Costello still stands. The Gran Teatro de la Habana, built in the early twentieth century, is now home to the
Cuban National Ballet. Habana Vieja is undergoing a massive restoration to its former glory. Havana could be seen
as a work-in-progress, but it is more a testament to its never-ending determination to improve and progress, which
might be the allure that attracts so many visitors.
Biographie : Pamela Ruiz came to Cuba in the 1990s and fell in love, both with the country and her husband, Cuban artist Damian
Aquiles. Formerly a location scout for photography shoots, she soon began to turn her attention to art, specifically
bridging the international art world and Cuba.
