Editor’s note: To culminate our special “Revolution at 50” edition, we offer this slideshow of contemporary photographs by Kaloian, a staff photographer for the Cuban newspaper Juventud Rebelde (Young Rebel). All feature the Cuban flag, and none are accompanied by captions — a decision made by Kaloian to erase each image’s specificity and create a generalized sense of life in Cuba, 50 years after the revolution.
All of the photographs were featured in “Cincuenta Veces Cuba” (Fifty Times Cuba), a July 2009 exhibit in Cuba commemorating the revolution’s golden anniversary. To enter full-screen slideshow viewing mode (highly recommended), press the four-arrow button at the lower right, above the word “credits.”
