The Cuban Art Factory has been a creative hub in Havana for the last decade, offering a platform for local artists to showcase their talents despite challenges.
For ten years, the privately funded Cuban Art Factory in Havana has provided a space for local talent to exhibit their creations in what was once a train station.
Every week, from Thursday to Sunday, hundreds of visitors pay the equivalent of $4 to attend music concerts, see plays, dance, or simply stroll, Mojito in hand, through its corridors replete with modern art."Here, you can see things you couldn't even imagine," Olivia Rodriguez, a 30-year-old musician, told AFP as she waited for renowned Cuban salsa singer Issac Delgado to come on stage.
The provocative and light-hearted contributions of some artists have sometimes caused problems, admits Alfonso, but he does not want to dwell on the subject.
