ATLAS OF HUMANITY | NEW YORK

It was an honor to be selected to represent Cuba in the New York exhibit for Atlas of Humanity. And an even bigger honor to be the shows “featured artist” showcasing Vanishing Cuba.

From 10 to 12 March 2023, Atlas of Humanity was back in New York. The exhibition, now at its 9th edition, will be attended by 50 international photographers who showcase the richness and diversity of the world’s ethnic cultures that form the great mosaic of humanity. The portraits and the daily moments captured by these established authors or curious amateurs provide a glimpse into the vanishing cultures of people who are striving to hold onto their heritage in a rapidly-changing world.

New York came after Paris, Milan, Dubai, Tunis, Birmingham, and Cologne. Our project returned to New York, one of the most influential cities for arts and culture. For photographers, New York has always been a city of unparalleled visual excitement, teeming with diverse people and distinctive places. From the high-rise to the brownstone, a clash of cultures and classes; bankers, streetworkers, artists, and celebrities all walk the same streets, attracted by the vitality of its sidewalks.

For this exhibit, Atlas of Humanity was showcased alongside ImageNation New York in the heart of the vibrant neighborhood of Tribeca to celebrate the diverse talents of our international community of contemporary photographers. Curated by Martin Vegas, Atlas of Humanity featured the work of 50 talented photographers, each with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

PLAIN MAGAZINE FEATURES VANISHING CUBA

After 24 trips to Cuba and over tens of thousands of photographs, American photographer Michael Chinnici is releasing his new coffee table book, Vanishing Cuba. Documented in the 348-page large-format book is a collection of arresting visuals that map out the past, present, and future of Cuba, along with emotional stories, fantastic scenery, and lifelong friendships the photographer has made along the way.

Captured in the most endearing and honest light, the book is accompanied by text in both English and Spanish, narrated by Cuban friends through meaningful essays. Through his lens, Chinnici digs deep into the soul of a country, and the results, as you can see from the images below, are breathtaking.
