Where should I start?\u201d Bouchard wondered about the reason for this perspective, halfway between documentary and fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cForeigners have a certain vision of Cuba, but there\u2019s more, and that\u2019s what I wanted to show them, what most visitors don\u2019t get to see or discover,\u201d he says, while explaining the reasons that led him to delve not only into a specific generation, but into a part of it, one that speaks of nonconformity, irreverence, and a break from the patterns that have historically characterized Cuban society.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_320703\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-320703\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-320703\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/publico-The-new-cubans-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-320703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some of the series\u2019 protagonists attended the opening of the exhibition in Havana. Photo: Lied Lorain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Jorge Per\u00e9, the project\u2019s curator, what Bouchard categorizes as \u201cthe new Cubans\u201d is \u201ca new lifestyle, a social spectrum that didn\u2019t previously exist in Cuba, but has flourished due to the vindication of minority identities; a social group that had been somewhat isolated for many decades has become more visible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bouchard didn\u2019t just reach the people who make up the stories in the series. He also featured the essential collaboration of model, photographer, and fashion designer Devon Ruiz, and fellow Cuban photographer and visual artist Osmel Azcuy. The idea was to construct the narrative of each of these images, in which the theatricality of their visuality is constructed, but the lives they reflect and the styles of their subjects are real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Beatriz Hern\u00e1ndez Jim\u00e9nez, producer of the exhibition, these images speak about \u201ca sector of young society that has ways of expressing itself intellectually, culturally, and of course, physically, in terms of representation and appearance in society. This is quite distinctive and is also important for understanding the new dynamics of thought, the heterodoxy among youth, and how it projects itself outward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_320704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-320704\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-320704\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-New-Cubans-2-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-320704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph from \u201cThe New Cubans\u201d collection.

In reality, what he\u2019s doing is mocking those archetypes. A photographer with his critical insight and photographic expertise wouldn\u2019t fall into the clich\u00e9s of visuality, nor into the common places typically seen. In fact, what it does is take all those clich\u00e9s and bring them together in each setting. Each photo becomes a deconstruction of what the archetypal Cubans mean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe greatest reality of these photos is that those posing are people living those lives; they weren\u2019t placed there as mannequins or mere decoration. It\u2019s an act of nakedness and honesty before the photographer, and what the photographer does is overload the scene,\u201d explains Jorge Per\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these photos, the scenographic montage is perhaps the best way to show the depth of the rupture that these \u201cnew Cubans\u201d represent with the rest of society and with the reality in which they were born, raised, and educated, even though they are not the majority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy work focuses on acceptance, love, and respect for people who are different. The series is a great celebration of that,\u201d concludes Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Bouchard.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibition \u201cThe New Cubans\u201d has been
