Photographs by Jorge Luis Santiago.

At the end of March earlier this year I had the opportunity to go to Havana, Cuba. The reason for my visit was the presentation of “Memorial de Agravios, Oaxaca 2006″ a book in which I published several photographs from Oaxaca’s social movement in 2006. In Havana, I devoted every moment to desperately taking photos. Then, as always happens after I’ve taken photographs, I needed to let them rest for awhile. I don’t know, it’s something that thrills me. Maybe because the excitement I had in living them returns when I go searching in the trunk and find them there, crouched down, waiting to be seen again.
