PULLMAN, Wash. — The Compton Union Gallery at Washington State University will feature “The Carbon Cycle of Cooking: Life in a Cuban Village” exhibit by British photographer Stanley A. Unsworth from Nov. 17-Dec. 12.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. but closed during Thanksgiving week. Admission is free.
The photographic essay documents the rigors of one aspect of daily life – cooking – in a contemporary Cuban Village. It traces the process from the production of food and fuel (charcoal) to its preparation and consumption.
Unsworth has created a stunning digital portrait of 21st century life on this island nation, located just 80 miles from the shores of the United States, said Gail Siegel, arts programming coordinator for the gallery. Unsworth teaches digital imaging at Anglia Polytechnic University in Great Britain.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the WSU Department of Political Science and the Thomas S. Foley Institute of Public Service and Public Policy will host a panel discussion, “Contemporary Cuba: Political, Social, and Cultural Issues,” on Nov. 17 from 3-5 p.m. at Todd Hall, Room 413.
