Vortrag: The Matches‘ Boxes of Havana – von und mit: Carlos Rodriguez Estévez
30. 6. 2016 19:30 UHR
#Havana is a wonderful city… and there are also many concrete residential blocks (matches’ boxes) all over the area. This #presentation will try and provide a quick glimpse of a process that started as an answer to a basic necessity such as people’s housing. Eventually this has evolved into a unique cultural (or “un-cultural”) process as well; and now, it is also part of the city, even though it hasn’t been acknowledged by its residents yet…
