NIGHT IN GUANTANAMO
Last winter Anne Senstad travelled across Cuba from its capital Havana in the northwest to Guantanamo in the poorest, southeastern region, where recently the United States has been holding the Taliban fighters. On her way Senstad investigated the cultural identity of this Caribbean island, where Spanish occupation, the slave trade, revolution, trade embargoes and the present prison camp have left their mark. She found traces of this complex history and contemporary reality in the lives of the Cubans themselves. These are reflected in her socially engaged portraits, cityscapes and close-ups.
