TARA WILKINSON I CUBA
Fine Art Photography


In the Spring of 2021, Unable to travel and frustrated by the pandemic lockdowns, photographer Tara Wilkinson decided to travel back through her photo archives to fulfill her wanderlust. Delving into three decades of images from journeys to over 25 countries, she was particularly drawn to those from warmer climes. Images of daily life in Cuba began to bubble to the surface.

The exhibition was an invitation to travel again – to visually walk the streets with her through the villages and cities along the north coast of Cuba.  

Taken during several trips between 2014 and 2018, the series of raw black and white street photographs allowed the viewer to observe a remarkable amount of truth. In curating the exhibition, Wilkinson was careful to strike a balance between individuals and crowds, friends and families, children and seniors, neighbours and strangers … all waiting in different environments which also serve as an important part of the storytelling.
WAITING - Artist Statement:
​
​"Waiting is hard. Waiting requires patience. It requires us to let go, render oneself helpless, to trust that whatever we are waiting for will arrive. If there’s been one overriding universal experience during the pandemic, it’s been “Waiting” - waiting for the pandemic to end, for a vaccine, for the fear to subside, for a chance to hug family and friends again. Waiting for a return to normal.

This is every day in Cuba
… waiting in line for food or medicine, for transportation, for someone to come home, waiting for change to happen. Everyone is waiting.

While there is obvious hardship, you can also find hope in these images if you look closely … the artificial flowers on a woman’s sandals, friends deep in conversation, a plastic bag dancing in the wind at an intersection. The pandemic is testing our mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being. It is testing our relationships, our resolve and patience. ​Sometimes, all we can do is WAIT."
