Made over four years in Cuba during the Special Period, Las Mañanitas looks at how Santería, the state and daily survival share the same rooms. A Virgin draped in the national flag stands beside a flickering television; saints, a plaster indio and a family portrait crowd one altar; a hand-painted sign on a wall jokes about virginity. Life here is wild, hard and often humorous. How do spiritual allegories and the machinery of the state negotiate for space in the city and the home?
