Important Cuban Photographer Coming To Los Altos

The KCI Gallery is pleased to present Raúl Cañibano: Storyteller, the first solo exhibition in the Western United States by internationally acclaimed Cuban photographer Raúl Cañibano. Based in Havana, Cañibano is a storyteller at heart, and uses the camera to narrate the story of his country, its people and their struggles in the post-revolution era.

Through his series, Cañibano’s images tell the tales of everyday Cubans in the city (Chronicles of the City) and in the countryside (Guajira’s Land), and confront the loneliness and abandonment of ageing in Cuba (Sunset).

With his unique sense of framing, he captures the apex of multiple stories unfolding simultaneously within the same scene, thereby defining “The Decisive Cuban Moment.” The book, Raúl Cañibano: Storyteller, which was produced on the occasion of the exhibition by the same name, is the first Cuban photography book published in the United States since President Obama’s historic announcement to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba.

The artist will be here from Cuba to give an artist lecture and attend a book signing and opening reception on January 21st. For more info go to: Raúl Cañibano: Storyteller
