Human Landscapes: Storytelling and Surrealism in the work of Cuban photographer Raúl Cañibano
– Dr James Kent (Languages, Literatures & Cultures, Royal Holloway, University of London)

This talk will explore the work of one of Cuba’s greatest living photographers, Raúl Cañibano (b. Havana, 1961). It will reflect on the importance of storytelling in his various ongoing photo-essays, which date back to the early 1990s, and will examine surrealist influences at play in these wide-ranging bodies of work. It will also consider the influence Cañibano’s work has had on contemporary Cuban photography and the way it has been received by critics and different audiences outside the island.

This event will take place on Zoom and will be chaired by Dr John Perivolaris.
