Cuba: People of Havana on the Edge of Change

A young lady cleans her house entrence, seen in Havana city center. For a week I explored the streets of Havana, the homes and Havana's vastly diverse culture, just a few days after the death of the legendary leader Fidel Castro. After news broke on Friday evening (the 25th November) that Fidel Castro had died, some people in Havana reacted in shock, disbelief, and pain. Others saw the former leader's death as an opportunity for the country. On the same night, many people did not respond with any visible emotion when they were told of Fidel Castro’s death. During the next few days that followed, many went about their days as usual, arguing that little would change because of Fidel Castro’s demise. Much of Havana seemed and still seems uncertain about exactly how to feel, or at least how to talk about it. On Friday, 2 December 2016, in Havana, Cuba. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
