Cuba on the Wall by patrizia dottori

Cuba on the wall
Since 1999 I have collected a great deal of material about posters in the cities and along the roads outside, on murals, from some historic monuments: that's Cuba on the wall
The posters promote the revolution and the politics of this country and serve also as a source of historical documentation, being the only existing form of publicity, the collection of the manifestos which invade Cuba. No longer a novelty for Cubans, it never ceases to amaze visitors arriving from industrialised countries where advertisments are only used for luxury goods.
In a few years, for better or for worse, probably we will not see less, if any, of this and I would to leave a historical trace, particular, social, with which a population has lived and is living for almost fifty years, but also give a fascinated mood.
