Subject: October 4th invitation. A Cuban photo exhibit.

The Green Corner
141st Street and Brook Avenue

Fragmented Families:
"From the Shadow's Side"
5:45-8:30pm

A photo exhibit curated by Javier Machado.

This group show, by artists Aurora De Armendi, Juan Caballero and
Javier Machado, examines the impact of U.S. Cuba
policy on Cubans living in the U.S. and their families
on the island.

In 2004, the U.S. government issued new
travel restrictions that permit Cuban-origin residents
to visit their own country only once every three
years, and then for only two weeks. Through
documentary and experimental work, Cubans Artists
respond to these developments.

Javier Machado is a Cuban photographer who moved to the U.S. in 2003. He
has been reworking a series of portraits that he shot
in his old neighborhood in Havana. This show was
recently exhibited at the P.S. 122 Gallery.

Brook Park and its upcoming exhibitis, call
