>>It took nearly four years of work to give birth 
>>to Roberto Fumagalli's CUBA VA: a 
>>photographer's extraordinary journey into the heart of the Revolucion.
>>
>>Working alongside Roberto Chile, Castro's 
>>personal cameraman, Fumagalli has managed to 
>>capture people and places neverbefore seen. 
>>Access to some of these sites has always been 
>>off-limits to foreign photographers. The 
>>photographs in CUBA VA include the backstage of the world famous Cabaret
>>Tropicana; the women's national volleyball 
>>team, glory of Cuban sports; the country's 
>>largest armed forces training compound; and 
>>Alicia Alonso's School of Ballet, together with 
>>research centers, universities, surgery rooms, 
>>steel factories, prisons, psychiatric 
>>hospitals, agrarian cooperatives. And the 
>>typical Cuban iconography, revisited. Roberto 
>>Fumagalli intimately explores Cuban society and 
>>its Revolución, proposing a complete and 
>>original vision of the complex Cuban reality of 
>>today, with its future challenges.
>>
>>Join us for a special preview presentation and 
>>reception for Roberto Fumagalli on Thursday, 
>>January 24th, 6-8:00pm.  Meet at 6PM at UCR 
>>Sweeney Art Gallery for a special sneak preview
