What does it mean to be a \u201cMillenial\u201d or \u201cGen-Zer\u201d in Cuba today? Greg Kahn explores the answer to this question through a series of photographs that comprise Havana Youth. Known as \u201cThe Special Period in Time of Peace\u201d or \u201cPer\u00edodo Especial,\u201d an extended period of economic crisis due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union loomed over Cuba from roughly 1991 to 2000. Cubans born during or slightly before this period are now in their 20s and 30s and have spent much of their youth seeking to define themselves as individuals in a nation that emphasizes the collective. They have experienced extreme economic recession, dwindling resources and a US-led economic embargo that bred resentment toward the United States and the bourgeoisie.<\/p>\n

In spite of these oppressive conditions, it is evident through Kahn\u2019s photographs that youth culture in Havana has defined itself uniquely on the international stage. Of this generation, Kahn observes, \u201cthis is their cultural counter-revolution, and they are redefining what it means to be Cuban.\u201d Sartorial choices serve as subversive protests against government restrictions, music and dancing thrive in the streets and living for the moment underscores the vibrant lifestyle. In Havana, culture is credo.<\/p>\n

A fully illustrated book, HAVANA YOUTH<\/a>, published by Yoffy Press with an introduction by Arian Hernandez-Reguant will be available for purchase for the duration of the exhibition.<\/p>\n

Greg Kahn<\/a> (b. 1981) is a Washington, DC – based\u00a0American documentary fine art photographer. Kahn grew up in a small coastal town in Rhode Island, and attended The George Washington University in Washington D.C. In 2012, Kahn co-founded GRAIN Images with his wife Lexey, and colleague Tristan Spinski.\u00a0His Pulitzer Prize nominated project, \u201cIt\u2019s Not a House, It\u2019s a Home,\u201d explores how the foreclosure crisis in Florida defined a new class of homelessness. Kahn\u2019s photographs have been published in Newsweek, TIME, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Washington Post, and The Atlantic among others.<\/p>\n
