    Prints by Cuban photographers living and working in Havana make up Cuba in Context, an exhibition at Avenue 25 Gallery in San Mateo. The exhibit is curated by Charles Anselmo, whose photographs were on view at the gallery earlier this month. Anselmo has been visiting Cuba since 2000, taking photographs and leading workshops on photography.

    He gives an annual presentation at Havana's Instituto Internacional de Periodismo Jose Marti. "If you're going to write in press journalism in Cuba, you have to get a certificate from this journalism school," notes Anselmo, who has become friends with fellow artists at the Fondo Cubano de la Imagen Fotografica. Much of his time is now spent in collaboration with arts organizations.

    Anselmo has brought work by 30 emerging Cuban artists to the Bay Area for Cuba in Context. The images are being shown in the United States for the first time. They explore the foundations of what Anselmo calls "an extraordinarily vibrant culture, one interpreting both its own past and the many transitions within Cuba today."
