#Chinatown #Havana

 
I am working on a compilation of the Insta/Iphone photos of my adventurous trip to Cuba, but for the moment I will post up this impression of Chinatown in Havana.

Cuban Wedding

In this week of romanticism I'd like to share these beautiful newlyweds that wandered around the streets of Havana

 



The bride opted for a strapless dress decorated with pearls with long gloves, a gorgeous collier with matching earrings, a smaller tiara around the bun in her hair, and a beautiful bouquet of peach-toned flowers. I also like the tattoo in the shape of the sun on the left side her cleavage.

The groom accessorised with a bottle of water, which was handy for the 25 °C temperature of that day. Actually I like how he adjusted his vest to the bride's dress with the brocade texture.

Art: Interpretation of a Painful Past

Today the exhibition 'Who More Sci-Fi Than Us, contemporary art from the Cariben’ will be launched: it has a strong postcolonial theme, which, strongly appeals to me because of my academic past.

Holland has had a painful past of exploitation some people are happy to forget or underscore. Hence, I'm curious of how this exhibiton will represent it's past.

I won't be attending today because openings tends to be extra busy, and the weather is quite too lovely to be locked up in a museum, but I'll visit soon.
