Raúl Cañibano is an award-winning documentary photographer whose work focuses on his native Cuba. He has lectured at the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City and his work is published by Editorial “La Fábrica” and is part of collections such as ICP in New York, Trockmorton Gallery, Fototeca de Cuba, Juan Mulder and Michel Horbach Foundation in Germany. In the professional photographic community, Raul is spoken of as one of the most important photographers of the last 50 years of the development of the photographic industry in his country. As the author himself notes, he would not mind becoming a member of Magnum, but on one condition, if the agency would not send him to hell, but would let him live and shoot exclusively on his favourite island.
Tierra Guajira
The first series of works presented on the NCU Tierra Guajira, is an anthropological project spanning more than two decades, in which the author pays homage to Cuban peasants and recalls his own experience of spending part of his childhood in the rural east of the island.
