Catalogue Note

We have grown up with a present versus past mentality, the accomplishments of the present versus the failures of the past, for instance. We dared to dig a bit deeper. We started to research a topic that had political implications of its own, although in reality we were much more interested in the habits and objects that characterized that period of our society. We felt like anthropologists digging up the lifestyle of Cuba's former middle class.
