What would happen if the little toy soldiers from our childhood could tell the story of a country?

We invite you to discover an original and thought-provoking perspective on Cuban reality through the photography of artists Lidice and Yamel Santana. In this artistic photography exhibition, they use the iconic Toy Story soldiers as a visual metaphor to reflect on everyday life, resilience, and the many stories lived in Cuba. Through carefully constructed scenes, the images portray daily life, tensions, and contradictions that are part of the island.

Each image transforms seemingly simple scenes into powerful narratives full of symbolism, where playfulness blends with the social and the human. A creative proposal that invites viewers to observe, question, and engage in dialogue about reality from another perspective. Each image mixes memory, play, nostalgia, and reflection, creating a visual universe where the small becomes immense and where every photograph invites us to feel, question, and look beyond the obvious.

Come discover how art can turn a toy into a story—and a story into a unique experience, blending pop culture and social critique to encourage us to see things from a different perspective.
