Silvio Rodríguez’s Latin American tour — which went from Havana, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Lima, and will continue in Medellín and Cali — has traced, more than an itinerary, a map of memory.

Thirteen years after his last visit to Uruguay, before reuniting with thousands of people every night, the singer-songwriter wanted to knock on another door: that of the humble farm of José “Pepe” Mujica and his partner in life and struggle, Lucía Topolansky.

I crossed half the park to reach Rumsey Playfield, the stage where Celia last performed in New York in 2001. The tribute was to take place there, as part of the SummerStage Festival.

The concerts confirmed the enormous affection the Chilean public holds for the Cuban singer-songwriter, who returned to the country after a seven-year absence.

A laboratory of identities, a space where what it means to be Cuban, Latino and American at the same time is negotiated every day.

An intimate journey with my lens to Silvio’s studio, where music, life and everyday life intertwine to shape songs that pulse with the island.

There, the Apostle continues to summon glances and memories. A recent mural brings him back to the New York landscape, recalling the Apostle’s mark on the city where he lived some of his most fruitful years.

Halfway between city and town, between the distance and the proximity of the center of the capital, it recalls my first home in Havana.

It is much more than a stone fortress. It is an emblem, a witness that has accompanied us for centuries and generations.

Current events in Cuba make me return again and again to photographs taken in the past. It might seem like an exercise in dusting off archives, but it’s quite the opposite. By running in circles, these images, far from aging, are renewed from time to time. As if time on the island didn’t advance in a straight line, but rather revolved around itself, always returning to the same starting point. This photographic journey is also related to the feeling that what happens in Cuba seems to pass — by mandate of some unwritten logic — through an absurd sieve. Photo: Kaloian. Photo: Kaloian.

The photos are from ten years ago, when internet access spread through Wi-Fi hotspots in parks, hotels and certain public spaces, the so-called street internet. People crowded any park with Wi-Fi, holding up phones searching for a signal, street vendors selling refill cards whispering “Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi,” and computers everywhere, as if it were an internet cafe with no coffee, chairs or tables.

In September 2015, Pope Francis' visit to Cuba unleashed an unusual wave of popular excitement. Between religious fervor and collective curiosity, the island experienced a unique celebration where the sacred and the secular intertwined in a profoundly Cuban way.

Despite the crisis, the death of its founder and the drop in tourism, this Havana project maintains its mysticism and its work, with art and music as protagonists.

For my people, I wish the essential.

One of the greatest Cuban film directors can cross our paths any day, on a street in Havana.

I used to be one of those people called “festival-goers.” I spent the day, from morning to night, walking quickly down 23rd Avenue from one theater to another.

In a leap of three decades, the actress who gave life to Sofía in “Explosion in a Cathedral” returns to join the cast of a literary classic brought to the screen.

The Cuban capital turns 505 years old. We pay tribute to it with a memorable song and some snapshots that try to capture the city’s faces.

In Cuba, dogs are an essential part of any neighborhood scene. Many, like their owners, seem to have resigned themselves to waiting.

In this corner of Miami, nostalgia and hope continue to be the common thread that unites two worlds, two shores.

Silvio Rodríguez provides context to a snapshot that shows him, Pablo Milanés, Vicente Feliú and Noel Nicola around a game of the quintessential Cuban pastime.

One of the largest open-air galleries was not always the artistic heartland we know today.

This neighborhood is the icon of the Cuban diaspora worldwide. Its streets tell the story of an identity that is still palpable.

A city of contrasts, where tradition and modernity coexist, and cultural diversity is a constant that manifests itself in unexpected ways.

“The border community is binational. Some people cross every day to work and study, in both directions. Some families are divided between two cities.” They are called sister cities.

In recent years, the business of illicit human trafficking has been taken over by drug cartels and other transnational criminal organizations.
