“Cuba is a photographer’s paradise” said Marsha Michel, one of twelve diverse photographers coming to the Monmouth Museum this month.

Their journeys have taken them from Santiago DeCuba and Guantanamo in the East, to Camaguey, Trinidad, Santa Clara, and Havana in the West. Their work offers us an opportunity to see Cuba with new eyes. Their images are a testament to the richness of the Cuban people’s heritage, culture, history, diversity, and ingenuity as well as the Cuban government’s reminders of their revolution and the U.S. Trade Embargo.

Peter Tingler, the curator for this show, will have you coming away with the realization that Cuba is much more than old cars and cigars.
