Honoring El Moro: A Cuban Collective Memory is a seventeen-year, long-format, multimedia project rooted in themes of multi-generational family unity, sense of place, resilience and survival, Cuban identity, and collective memory. The project shares stories of a sprawling, rural-Cuban, coffee-farmer family residing in the heart of the Sierra del Rosario mountains through the use of photography, video, archival imagery, collaboratively-constructed genealogies, illustrations, curated oral history interviews, and more.
