Red Trillium Press/Aqui, en la lucha

“I can image how brave must be to do a book like ‘’El Muro ‘’ in Cuba. I know Eduardo from  the San Alejandro Art Academy and I think is he is a great photographer.”

Carlos Estévez, Cuban artist

“A very dramatic and powerful visual and literary statement of a hidden Cuban subculture. The juxtaposition of the walls and the human images in the nighttime gives one a feeling of entering a forbidden walled city. Disturbing, thought-provoking and very well done.”

Abigail Rorer   Lone Oak Press

“A short note to thank you for "El Muro."  It is indeed informative and a valuable document of its time.”
Thanks again . . . . With best wishes,

The past year has been a busy and adventurous time for the press.  The summer saw a curated exhibition of Cuban prints and in the fall I was fortunate  to have a 6 week artist residence in Viet Nam. The project that has consumed most of the waking hours this year is El muro, a celebration of life and passion.

When we first saw Eduardo Hernández Santos' photographs we thought        El muro would be book. As with Almendrones it presents a view of the island from within, not from our eyes as tourists- los extranjeros but from eyes & voices of Cubans.  El muro has been two years in creation and is a key to understanding and celebrating Cuban culture.
