Photography exhibition Mujeres, Vidas Paralelas inaugurated

HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 8 (ACN) The exhibition Mujeres, Vidas Paralelas (Women, Parallel Lives), by the Argentine-Spanish photographer Oscar Pipkin, opened at the Museo Casa de la Obra Pía in Havana's Old Section as a tribute to International Women's Day.

Mujeres… is made up of 18 pictures about the different cultural, historical and religious realities of some women in different countries visited by the author, such as Japan, Bolivia, Peru, Israel, Palestine, Spain and Greece.

Pipkin said that some of the photographs are 50 years old and are being exhibited for the first time and stressed that, beyond their artistic value, they have a documentary character, as their settings and the situations that they capture were neither altered nor suggested.

Marbelys Giraudy, director of the Museo Casa de la Obra Pía, said that Mujeres… it is an added value to her institution, as it is currently working on a project with vulnerable women that invites reflection on similar realities around the world and in different times.
