I sell WIFI on a corner of Old Havana. I want to help people communicate with their family outside the country. Many of our parents have left Cuba to work abroad, and it’s only with WIFI that we can talk to them. I’m actually a dancer, and I need Wifi to promote myself and my dance group. My dream is to be a great dance choreographer and become known outside of Cuba. I’ve been dancing since I was 9 years old. The only thing I have in my mind is to have my own dance company.
I’ve lived in Old Havana all my life, and I’ve been painting since I was 6 years old. Painting doesn’t really bring me much income, but it gives me enormous personal satisfaction. Five years ago I discovered the engraving technique – with wood, paper, linoleum or metal— through a project called Imagen 3 in the Prado boulevard. It allows me to transmit my emotions through art. I’m not able to sell or exhibit my paintings because I haven’t graduated in art and don’t belong to a formal institution as an artist. One day I dream of being able to live from my passion and have my very own exhibition in a big gallery.
