An woman smokes at Callejon de Hamel, Havana, Cuba, on 18 April 2017. El Callejón de Hamel is the temple of the Afro-American religion in Havana founded in 1990 by the artist Salvador González Escalona. Its objective is to provide creative art to the people, revitalizing a street forgotten by time and by the city, with an Art Gallery, where the neighborhood itself would be an indissoluble part of a creation unique in its kind, in the country and in the world , Which was always within the reach of children, the elderly, workers and professionals. In this place, in addition, the visitor can find products that are associated with works and Afro-Cuban rites. This alley is also a space in which art and community interact; Where festivals are held in which children and neighbors of the area participate among murals, old bicycles and abandoned bathtubs that make canvas.
