1998. Cuba en Vive pleno Periodo Especial,
Escasez, tiempos difíciles, pero también una energía única en el aire.
David Alan Harvey, fotógrafo de National Geographic y miembro de Magnum Photos, llega con su cámar
y captura el alma de toda una isla.” No fotografió solo lo que veía,
sino lo que se sentía. Colores vibrantes que explotan bajo el sol caribeño, risas en los portales al atardecer,
resiliencia y alegría pura a pesar de las dificultades.
Pasó meses viviendo la realidad cubana: La Habana, Trinidad, Santiago…
Sus imágenes muestran la vida cotidiana, la música, la arquitectura colonial y esa calidez humana que define a Cuba.
Fotos llenas de luz dorada, flash directo y una intimidad que solo se logra estando cerca de la gente.
El resultado fue el libro ‘Cuba’ de National Geographic, una obra de 252 páginas con más de 150 fotografías.
Un documento visual poderoso que se convirtió en referencia mundial de fotografía documental.
Imágenes que palpitan con el espíritu cubano: fuerte, vivo y lleno de alma.

1998. Cuba in the midst of the Special Period.
Scarcity, difficult times, but also a unique energy in the air.
David Alan Harvey, National Geographic photographer and member of Magnum Photos, arrives with his camera
and captures the soul of an entire island. He didn't just photograph what he saw,
but what he felt. Vibrant colors exploding under the Caribbean sun, laughter in doorways at sunset,
resilience and pure joy despite the hardships.
He spent months experiencing Cuban life: Havana, Trinidad, Santiago…
His images show daily life, music, colonial architecture, and that human warmth that defines Cuba.
Photos filled with golden light, direct flash, and an intimacy that can only be achieved by being close to the people.
The result was the National Geographic book ‘Cuba,’ a 252-page work with more than 150 photographs.
A powerful visual document that became a global benchmark for documentary photography.
Images that pulse with the Cuban spirit: strong, alive, and full of soul.

Black Photojournalism
A landmark survey of Black American photojournalism spanning 1945 to 1984, chronicling a critical period in the civil rights movements in the United States
This volume presents work by 57 Black photographers and contributions from scholars such as Joy Bivins, Tina M. Campt and Gerald Horne, chronicling historic events and daily life in the United States from the conclusion of World War II in 1945 to the presidential campaigns of 1984, including the civil rights movements through the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Drawn from archives and collections in the care of journalists, libraries, museums, newspapers, photographers and universities, the photographs in the catalog were circulated and reviewed in publishing offices across the country.
Responding to a dearth of stories about Black lives told from the perspectives of Black people, Black publishers and their staff created groundbreaking editorial and photojournalistic methods and news networks. During a period of urgent social change and civil rights advocacy, newspapers and magazines, including the Afro American News, Atlanta Daily World, Pittsburgh Courier, Chicago Defender and Ebony, transformed how people were able to access seeing themselves and their communities. Their impact on the media landscape continues into the digital present.
The catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Carnegie Museum of Art. The exhibition and catalog are both designed by artist David Hartt, and organized and edited by Charlene Foggie-Barnett, Charles “”Teenie”” Harris, community archivist, and Dan Leers, curator of photography, in dialogue with an expanded network of archivists, curators, historians and scholars.
Photographers include: Harry Adams, Anthony Barboza, Kwame Brathwaite, Don Hogan Charles, Adger Cowans, Guy Crowder, Roy DeCarava, Doris Derby, Bob Douglas, Louis Draper, Theodore Gaffney, Charles “Teenie” Harris, Chester Higgins, Kojo Kamau, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, Marilyn Nance, Gordon Parks, Ming Smith, Bruce Talamon, Deborah Willis-Ryan.

Caminando un poco por la Havana y conversando con la gente tienes un background general de como va la cosa. Te encuentras realidades tristes y realidades alegres. Gente entretenida y aburrida. Al final hacer video y editarlo es tan interesante como hacer fotos.

Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s SHOOT, a self-published zine originally produced by the photographer from 2005–2008, is out now!
This early publication by Sepuya showcases the photographic practice that the artist has become known for over the last two decades. Glimpses of the artist can be found throughout the portraits in SHOOT (including one issue devoted to his own self-portrait), as can the mechanics of photography, drawing a line from this early work to his renowned “Dark Room” series and ongoing portrait-based practice. His photographs simultaneously recall the history of the medium and challenge it. Sepuya brings a perspective that emphasizes queerness in questioning the singularity of portraits and the dialogue between artist, subject(s), and collaborator(s), as well as complicating the expectations and representations of Black authorship.
Each of the zine’s issues was an experiment by the artist in conceiving of an extended portrait, using contact sheets, outtakes, and text. The subjects were Sepuya’s friends, muses, and collaborators. Like many zines made at the time, these were photocopied on the job and at various copying centers and the magazine retains much of the artist’s hand as well as the idiosyncratic hallmarks of the copy machine that have come to define Queer zines since the 1970s. This book brings together, for the first time, all seven issues of the magazine, which are highly sought-after due to the scarcity of the originals today.
SHOOT is 140 pages, measures 6.5 x 8 inches, and retails for $24.00.
