EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jorge Silva, we are transported back in time to the vibrant streets of Old Havana. Against a backdrop of colorful colonial buildings and cobblestone roads, a vintage Chevrolet gracefully glides through the bustling cityscape. The image encapsulates the charm and nostalgia that permeates Cuba's capital. Taken on September 13,2006, during preparations for the arrival of heads of state from member countries of the Non-Aligned Movement, this snapshot offers a glimpse into Havana's rich history and enduring spirit. The classic Chevrolet symbolizes an era long gone but still cherished by many Cubans. As sunlight dances upon its polished exterior, one can almost hear the rhythmic beats of salsa music emanating from open windows along with laughter-filled conversations. This photograph serves as a testament to Havana's resilience and ability to preserve its cultural heritage despite political changes over time. Silva's composition not only captures an iconic moment in Cuban history but also invites viewers to reflect on how tradition intertwines with modernity in this enchanting city. It reminds us that while progress may bring change, there is beauty in preserving fragments of our past. Through his lens, Silva immortalizes both a mode of transportation and an emblematic symbol representing Cuba's unique identity—a nation where vintage cars continue to roam freely amidst evolving times.
