Yesterday was Opening Night for the exhibition “Expansión 15” organized by La Bienal de la Habana and installed at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wilfredo Lam.

I wish I was there to hear Nelson Ramirez de Arellano’s introductory remarks and to celebrate with my fellow resident artists at Casa Naranja, Osmany, Natasha, Adrian and Rosa.

Most of all, I wish I had been there in person to welcome the audience and have a chance to hear their impressions of the work. And also, to take it all in myself, because CAC Wilfredo Lam is my favorite museum in Cuba and I had longed for many years to exhibit my photographs at that storied institution.

Habana holds a very special place in my heart and this exhibition- albeit in absentia - feels like a homecoming.
