"Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba"
Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb

February 12 - March 7

This multi-layered portrait of the "Violet Isle," a little-known name for Cuba, combines the separate photographic visions of a husband/wife team: Alex Webb's exploration of street life and Rebecca Norris Webb's fascination with the unique, quixotic collections of animals she discovered there. Accompanied by a new publication from Radius Books of the same name, the exhibition presents an engaging, at times unsettling, document of a vibrant and vulnerable land.

A reception celebrating the couple's work will be held in the Gallery on March 4 from 5 – 7 p.m.

An image by Rebecca Norris Webb of one of the quixotic animals she's found in Cuba.
