In the Spring of 2020 I took part in the Documentary Photography Program On Location in Havana, Cuba which places select students from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts at the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba to complete a documentary project over the course of one semester. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was cut short after only a few weeks in Havana. These images, from the Viñales valley, the boxers of Havana, and the Cuban National Circus are the beginning of many projects which I will return to Cuba (hopefully soon) to complete.
