PHOTOS FROM "BELLY OF THE BEAST": HACKWELL EXHIBIT TO OPEN IN HAVANA By Deirdre Griswold An exhibit of the social photography of Bill Hackwell will open in Havana, Cuba, on Nov. 18 at the Julio Antonio Mella Theater. Readers of Workers World are familiar with Hackwell's work. Hundreds of his photos have appeared in this newspaper over the years. He has captured on film the major protests of the last few decades in memorable images that convey both the messages and the raw emotions of the protesters. Hackwell is a Vietnam veteran whose passion for changing U.S. society matured in the struggle against that war. Since then his camera has chronicled movements for social justice, both large and small, often focusing in on that one person whose face and actions speak for the crowd. The invitation for the Cuban exhibit features a Hackwell picture from 1992: a young man is pulling down the sign of a street ironically called "Bush" as others cheer him on. They were protesting a visit to San Francisco of the first President George Bush. The powerful exhibit contains 45 photos taken over the last 20 years, including one from the anti-war demonstration in San Francisco this Oct. 26. The show is called "Struggles in the Belly of the Beast" and will run until Nov. 30. - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
