Colourful Artwork, callejon de hamel, Cuba


Artwork, lavore del olvido. Roughly translated = it toils of forgetfulness. Havana's Callejón de Hamel is a street of shrines, with crazy scupltures and colourful murals, a public temple to the Santería religion and a fascinating example of African influence on Cuban culture. There is live rumba music on Sunday afternoons. Many of the artworks have been created by artist Salvador Gonzáles since 1990 and together make a visual spectacle.
