Barrys Cuban Images Gallery was photographed during the week leading up to the US lead invasion of Iraq. He presents a cross section of Cuban society and tourist life during this significant week in a country cut-off from the United States.
Two Important Images examine Themes of Protest, Liberation and Democracy.
Collage, Cuban Artists: Protest, Liberation, Politics and Propaganda.
This collage consists of four photographs taken March 15 & 16, 2003 in Havana 48 hours prior to the US lead attack on Iraq. Combined, they present vivid contrasts existing in this dictatorship, yet a dialog is needed to present the reality shown in these pictures during those two days:
Freedom of Artistic Expression, Protest, and Liberation: The sliding pond wrapped in barbed wire - a commentary on the society and government of Cuba - is the sculpture at the entrance of the National School of Art. The whimsical house gate and fence is a creation of one artist in a barrio neighborhood around his home and studio. The Castro Government allows these, or they would not exist.
Controlled Artistic Expression, Politics, and Propaganda: These are Government sponsored artists creating the Cuban anti-US mural protesting an imminent invasion of Iraq. This is being painted on the most highly visible corner lot in Havana. It is constructed from new scarce materials, and supervised by CDRs (Committee to Defend the Revolution members are government appointed local enforcers). While this picture is being taken, the Castro Government is rounding up, arresting and detaining 72 dissidents.
Cosmic Energy Clash, Havana March 16, 2003.
This photographic art print vividly presents the cosmic clash of the visible and invisible energy fields of war, propaganda, politics, protest and world opinion.
