Curry

Machado, Jonathan: - Jonathan Curry-Machado lived for several years in Cuba, where he worked as a curator, researcher, poet and founding member of the Omni-Zona Franca group. Now based in London, he has maintained close ties to Cuba.

Vidal, Gonzalo

"Born in Chile, as a student of chemistry Gonzalo became involved in the clandestine struggle against Pinochet. Going into exile in 1975, he went to Romania, but in 1980 found what became his true home in Cuba. Since then, he has become a familiar face in Havana's cultural life, establishing himself as a professional photographer in 1986 - first in the Silkscreen Print Workshop 'René Portocarrero', and then since 1991 as a freelancer. Over the years, he has had thirty-five personal exhibitions throughout Cuba, Latin America and Europe, alongside participation in over a hundred collective shows. He has gained a deserved reputation for his extensive portrayal of visual artists, jazz musicians and dance performers, with his photographs featuring in numerous publications. Alongside this, he has developed a distinctive eye for the magical and abstract in our everyday surroundings - in the streets, in the sky, and in the sea he loves to live beside."

Vega Serova, Anna Lidia

Born in the former Soviet Union, to a Russian/Ukrainian mother and Cuban father, Anna Lidia settled definitively in Havana, Cuba in 1989. Originally a visual artist, it was her writing that brought her to international prominence, starting with her winning the Premio David in 1997 for her first collection of short stories, Bad Painting. Since then, she has become a recognised figure in the Cuban literary scene, with eight short-story collections and two novels (Noche de Ronda and Anima Fatua) to her name, participating in literary events throughout Europe and the Americas. She has also previously published two books of poetry: Retazos (de las hormigas) para los malos tiempos and Eslabones de un tiempo muerto. Through both her words and her painting, her work is noteworthy for its very personal reflection of daily life, grindingly yet magically real, as experienced in present-day Cuba.
