Writer and photographer Molly Mandell portrays 25 Cuban craftsmen
and woman with a mission, a lot of passion, and a striking and
admirable do-it-yourself mentality. Made in Cuba features 30
creative professionals, makers and entrepreneurs on the island.
Writers and photographers Molly Mandell and James Burke dive into
the remarkable DIY (do-it-yourself) culture that permeates every
corner of the country. Fueled by limited trade with other parts of
the world, this is not just pastimes or craft projects. It is
simply an element of day-to-day existence and a testament to the
self-reliance, resilience and creativity that is synonymous with
Cuban people. The book offers deeply personal accounts of everyone
from farmers living almost entirely from their land to artists
restoring once-luminous neon signs and designers circulating an
independent magazine with a USB distribution network. It also
includes guest essays from the likes of singer and composer Daymé
Arocena and writer Leonardo Padura. More than a tome on DIY
solutions, Made in Cuba is an inside look into everyday life in the
capital city of Havana and beyond.
