by: Lemis Tarajano Noya, Liset Alea, et al.

Hardcover. Damiani, 1st, 2011, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 168 pages. Traveling extensively in Cuba between 2007 and 2009, photographer Helena de Braganca (born 1978) sought to capture the nation's undocumented lives, from prostitutes and transvestites to punk rockers and swingers. De Braganca's lens temporarily transforms the alleyways, bedrooms and rooftops before her camera into both safe havens and stages.
