CUBA cubanas y cubanos involved extensive travels throughout this beguiling country, photographing formally and informally, in meeting places, places of work and leisure, public spaces, domestic surroundings, in country fields and city streets and squares, some of the people, both as individuals and as members of groups and organisations, who make up Cuban society in the 21st century.
Over a period of 7 months and more than 7000 kilometres travelling around the island, Clive Frost worked with the permission of the Cuban authorities to make these images and to present a view of Cuba not normally seen by the outside world or often portrayed by the many other photographers who visit the country.
“I went to Cuba at a time when many people felt that things were likely to change and change quite quickly and I wanted to try to get inside the real Cuba, not the superficial cigars and 50’s cars version. It took time and patience to get the access to a society which is, particularly among the governing powers, suspicious and careful of outsiders. Working and living with ‘insiders’, cubanos, solved many of the obstacles to getting my pictures.”
This dramatically designed book features 110 large format full colour images with an accompanying essay by the English writer and broadcaster, Stephen Smith. His book, 'The Land of Miracles', is based on the time he spent in Cuba during, what was called, 'the special period in time of peace' following the ending of aid from the former Soviet bloc.

Richard Wentworth - In conversation with leading designer, Kit Grover. Wednesday 10 February 6.00pm
Since graduating from the RCA in the 1970s, Richard Wentworth has played a hugely influential role in contemporary British art. His work manipulates industrial and/or found objects into works of art, transforming the way we think about sculpture and photography. In his ongoing project Making Do and Getting By, Wentworth has been documenting aspects of everyday life over the past thirty years.
David Spero - In conversation with David Campany, artist, writer and Reader in Photography at the University of Westminster. Wednesday 10 March 6.00pm
Since the early 1990s David Spero has worked on interconnected photography projects. In his ongoing series Ball Photographs, begun in 2001, the artist introduces ‘three dimensional constellations’; coloured rubber balls of different sizes placed into existing and often transitory locations. These planes disrupt, transform and map new connections and patterns in the spaces represented in the resulting photographs.
Photoworks is a visual arts organisation based in Brighton, England. We commission new photography projects, produce exhibitions and publications, and initiate research and education programmes. For more information visit: www.photoworksuk.org or contact jane@photoworksuk.org
