From Chili,
to Belgium, to Cuba.

Fernanda her parents were refugees from Chili. After 2 years of imprisonment, her father decided to take his family to Belgium, they lived there for 30 years. During this time Fernanda was born and she got to know my family. In 1982 they left to live in Cuba. More than 30 years later, I went to Cuba to visit her and to learn from her experiences.

Home

During the time I stayed in her house, near to Havana, I got to know her son, Gabriel and her little dog Valentino. Her oldest son is living in the USA.

Politics and history

What we did mostly was talking about the politics of the world, mainly about capitalism vs. communism and media manipulation.

Food

On a monthly base, the Cubans receive basics in food to survive, as part of their socialistic system. 

Home

I will never forget the soulful character of the house, the different mango trees and the comfort of basics.
