The PST: LA/LA photography exhibition CUBA IS “goes beyond the folklore and offers new insight into its current reality… [featuring] subjects ranging from defiant youth known as Frikis to the hard-partying children of the 1%, the underground system of sharing digital content—El paquete—to Miami’s Chonga girls.

“CUBA IS also includes archival images and work done on assignment by Elliot Erwitt, Leysis Quesada, Raúl Cañibano, Tria Giovan, and Michael Dweck, along with an original documentary highlighting these photographers at work.”*
