The 83
pictures taken by a group of photographers, plus ten snapshots by
Mexican Larry Reidor, will be shown at the Galería 10 10 (Gallery 10
10) in Mexico City from January 29th to February 28th.
“It is an honor for Mexico to have this exhibition, which shows us
an important part of the world’s history through only one
character,” said the general director of the gallery, Normand
Bardavird.
Osvaldo Salas Freire, Liborio Noval Barberá, Roberto Salas Merino,
Pablo Caballero Cuza and Alex Castro Soto del Valle are considered
the five photographers closest to Fidel Castro. Therefore, they have
been able to capture significant moments of the Cuban leader’s life
since 1959.
Galería 10 10, in coordination with the Jose Marti Cultural Society
of Cuba, is sponsoring the exhibition in Mexico, from where the
historical leader of the Cuban Revolution departed in 1959 heading a
group of revolutionaries aboard the Granma yacht to lead the
independence struggle in Cuba against Fulgencio Batista’s tyranny.
