"CARHAVANA' - Old Cars / New Relationships for US and Cuban Artists
Who says newer is better? Cuba is a wonderland of vintage U.S. made cars in mint condition and as good as they ever were. Initiating a rising wave of cultural exchange with Cuba, US photographer Melani Lust will be arriving in Havana for the opening of her joint exhibition "CARHAVANA".

The exhibit, a dynamic depiction of the classic pre-embargo American marquee cars still on the road in Havana, is a collaboration with the Cuban photographer Brayan Allonzo. Lust and Allonzo will be exhibiting 30 large scale photographs taken together in Havana in January, 2009.
Lust's photographs bring out the characters of each auto with new appreciation for history, craftmanship and technical skill of the owners who have kept them so well preserved. In the midst of modern technical advances, the beauty of these autos remains without parallel.
The exhibition runs from May 8th to June 8th at the Deposito de Automoviles in Havana, Cuba.
