Havana, Cuba
This series investigates the adolescent experience and identity in the context of Cuba's educational system. In 2017, I conducted a month of research in a secondary school in central Havana, and the following portraits and narrative works explore how secondary schools, preparatory schools, technical schools and Universities influence student aspirations and expectations for the future. These photographs are the visual component of a larger written ethnographic study, published by B.Carlson in 2018, and since shown in gallery in Philadelphia, PA and published online internationally.
