Afro-Cuba: Mystery and Magic of Afro-Cuban Spirituality

Four years of research preceded this black-and-white photographic documentary into the mysterious world of Afro-Cuban religion. The purpose of this photographic project is to carefully report on a complex religion, its different ceremonies and rich folklore; a window into a magical world, a world where African spirits manifest their presence in everyday Cuban life. Besides an historical introduction chapter by Ania Rodriguez Alonso, descriptions of the religious rites and beliefs accompany the photos.
