Wright Ledbetter, whose images create a captivating portrait of the remarkable Cuban culture as it faces the complex forces of change. \u003cp\u003eMade from visits to Cuba over a four-year period (1997-2001), Ledbetter's photographs take us on a compelling journey within a culture pressured by numerous internal and external difficulties, where the resulting climate is saturated with the tension and uncertainty brought on by a political and economic future that continues to evolve with no clear direction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraphically alluring and rich in metaphor, Ledbetter's photographs focus on the overwhelming power and spirit of the Cuban people. They also explore what he believes is an imminent Cuban culture shift and inevitable redefinition of Cuban identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Ledbetter's visual narrative unfolds, however, the photographs begin to reveal a greater depth and mystery, framed by the honest eye of a humanist and the compassion and perspective of an artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuba is a setting in which the questions surrounding its future become the questions all cultures face as social systems--political, economic, and otherwise--help shape human experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs and essays of \u003ci\u003eCuba: Picturing Change\u003c\/i\u003e emerge as a beautiful, balanced, and inclusive body of work.
