We Still Have the Soul | Luis Casadevall and the Poetry of Havana in Monochrome
Over twelve years, Luis Casadevall walked the streets of Havana not as a visitor, but as a listener. His camera became a vessel for voices of children, elders, and crumbling walls that still hum with life. We Still Have the Soul gathers these moments into a portrait of Cuba that feels both timeless and deeply human.
