Pedro Juan Gutiérrez, writer

Dirty Havana Trilogy, Tropical Animal and The Insatiable Spider Man, all those novels feature Gutiérrez’s eponymous anti-hero, Pedro Juan, a man who has "train[ed] himself to take nothing seriously" and whose locus operandi is here on the streets of Centro Habana, considered to be the toughest neighbourhood in the city. “You don’t normally write about the ordinary and monotonous” he says.” You write about what is peculiar, strange, what really astonishes you. And that’s what happens to me in this neighbourhood.”
René Francisco Rodriguez, visual artist
Our day with René Francisco Rodríguez begins at the ISA (Superior Institute of Art) where he teaches and proceeds to the Havana neighbourhood where, in the context of an ambitious ongoing art project, he has worked to improve the lives of the residents. Back in his studio, we find out that René Francisco, perhaps Cuba's most accomplished living conceptual artist, is also an extremely good painter.
