La Havana
2018 | Personal Project
A ticket to La Havana three days before Trump's restrictions, documented via disposable camera and collaborative haikus.
The four of us spent considerable time beforehand fretting about trouble at customs. We expected heavy scrutiny about our plan to engage in People-to-People exchange, as there were rumblings that the new administration planned to shut the whole thing down.
We passed through the screening without a second glance. We did, however, field a good number of questions from the Cuban people. Almost all conversations started with a joke about Trump, followed by genuine curiosity. We inquired if their lives had changed much post-Fidel. In almost every conversation we came to the uniting consensus that people are people, and government is government. Every interaction stressed a desire for deeper connection between our two worlds, and a swapping of Facebook profiles.
