As an anthology itself, the exhibition aims to show not only the discourses of modern and contemporary Cuban photography, but also the contributions that women and their cameras made to those speeches, what are their particular languages and how they communicate, perhaps unknowingly-between.Hence, there is the title of the exhibition. It not only refers to the place of origin of the photographers, whether by birth or heritage, but especially to the fact that the sets of islands, despite its apparent isolation, always have a sea that requires for them a dialogue, to have points in common in order to become an archipelago. In this case, it is not only the sea as a metaphorical space of femininity, but also as a metaphor of photography, specifically the Cuban one.
