The Writers\u2019 Association of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC), the Nicol\u00e1s Guill\u00e9n Foundation, and the Embassy of Spain in Cuba invite the public to the presentation of Habitaci\u00f3n con cielo, winner of the 2025 Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda de Pereda Literary Prize, awarded by the Government of Cantabria.<\/p>\n
This is the first novel by Spanish photographer H\u00e9ctor Garrido, whose memorable projects include Cuba iluminada, in which he photographed more than 250 prominent figures from Cuba\u2019s arts and cultural scene, and Cuba Ind\u00edgena, which led to a multidisciplinary research project and offered new perspectives on the long-held belief that Cuba\u2019s Indigenous peoples became extinct.<\/p>\n
Garrido is also widely recognized for his aerial photography, and he has collaborated on several films, including Marshland, directed by Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, and Sergio & Sergei, by Cuban filmmaker Ernesto Daranas.<\/p>\n
The event, scheduled for Friday, September 18, at 10:00 a.m. in UNEAC\u2019s Sala Villena, will feature the acclaimed artist and writer H\u00e9ctor Garrido, who will take part in a conversation with Cuban journalist Sergio Murgu\u00eda.<\/p>\n
