Calidoscopio Cubano (Cuban Kaleidoscope) is the result of an innovative workshop that that took place during the summer of 2003 with 15 Cuban children from the Playa and Marianao neighborhoods of Havana. For one week in July, 10 American photography and art teachers introduced young people to creative art projects, including Polaroid transfers, mask making, handmade journals and photography.

The program was conceived as part Cuba-Foto, my ongoing cultural exchange project between Cuban and American photographers. In colloboration with Cuban Project Director Gonzalo González, I designed the workshop to involve and encourage the innate talents of children to express their culture and environment through photography and art.

The Kodak company gave us film and photographic paper for the project, and has set up its own fantastic Web Site featuring the 2003 workshop.
