Following the crisis of the Special Period, Cuba promoted urban
agriculture throughout its towns and cities to address food
sovereignty and security. Through the adoption of state recommended
design strategies, these gardens have become places of social and
economic exchange throughout Cuba. This book maps the lived
experiences surrounding three urban farms in Havana to construct a
deeper understanding about the everyday life of this city. Using
narratives and drawings, this research uncovers these sites as
places where education, intimacy, entrepreneurism, wellbeing, and
culture are interwoven alongside food production. Henri Lefebvre's
latent work on rhythmanalysis is used as a research method to
capture the everyday beats particular to Havana surrounding these
sites. This book maps the many ways in which these spaces shift
power away from the state to become places that are co-created by
the community to serve as a crucial hinge point between the ongoing
collapse of the city and its future wellbeing.
