An urban garden, Matanzas, 2012

“For me, this really embodies all the contradictions of modern Cuba,” says Andrew Moore, a photographer who has spent more than a decade traveling to Cuba. Moore points to the juxtaposition of the crumbling, colonial-era warehouse and the the view through the archway of a crane used to unload and load barges on the San Juan River and the clever creation of an urban garden. “For me this came as a sign of entrepreneurship that’s now developing in Cuba.” It’s a story, Moore says, of “people reinventing themselves and reinventing the landscapes of the cities.”
