Reception

HAVANA Photographs

The pictures in Scott MacEachern’s HAVANA series were taken in various neighbourhoods of Havana, Cuba, over the course of April 2015. MacEachern fell under Havana’s unique spell during his first visit to the city in March 2003. Twelve years later, diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States unexpectedly and dramatically improved, signalling that massive changes were on the horizon for this special city.

In advance of these imminent transformations, MacEachern travelled to Cuba again, and was in Havana on the historic day that US President Obama shook hands with Cuban leader Raúl Castro (in Panama) and said it was time to “turn the page” on old divisions. This meeting ultimately led to President Obama’s visit to Cuba in March 2016, followed closely by the Rolling Stones. It was a melancholy pleasure for the artist to see this fascinating place one more time, before so many aspects of life for the Habaneros became reshaped forever.

The exhibition runs April 1–30, 2016.
