 "Auteur Photography" exhibitions are essential art events that play a key role in nurturing talent, spreading culture and creating a space for reflection and dialogue. These exhibitions represent a unique opportunity for photographers to show their personal and creative vision of the world, and for the public to experience the power of images to convey ideas, emotions and concepts.
 
The Fototeca de Cuba has been the scene of the photographic exhibition "Suite: Generis", which brings together the works of prominent Cuban photographers of different generations, all members of the Photography section of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC). This exhibition, which celebrates the richness and diversity of author photography on the island, offers a panoramic view of the talent and artistic evolution of the Cuban lens over time. 

Author photography has exerted a significant influence on the new generations of photographers and on the education of the general public, transforming the way we see and understand photographic art. This creative and personalized approach to photography has been instrumental in driving experimentation and innovation in the medium, as well as promoting a greater appreciation of photographic art in society. 

"Suite: Generis" presents a selection of images spanning classic creations to the boldest and most experimental contemporary explorations. The exhibition allows the viewer to appreciate in 360 degrees how Cuban photography has been shaped and enriched by political, social and cultural changes, while remaining faithful to its essence and authenticity. The exhibition does not rank among one another, something that is surprising, and at the same time, unlike other exhibitions, it democratizes and equalizes all the artists of the lens, established or not, mid-career or emerging. These works offer an introspective look at life in Cuba during a period of change and challenge. These images challenge the viewer to reflect on the complexity and diversity of today's Cuban society. 

The new generations of photographers present in the exhibition undoubtedly show that they have found inspiration in the work of other photographers who now live in the room. The latter have shown that photography can go beyond the simple documentation of reality and become a form of artistic expression and communication of ideas. By observing and learning from these artists, young photographers have adopted and adapted their techniques and approaches, leading to a greater diversity of styles and subject matter in contemporary photography. 

Additionally, author photography has encouraged emerging photographers to explore their own voice and style, resulting in a more personal and authentic body of work. By prioritizing the photographer's unique vision and narrative, author photography has opened the doors to a greater recognition and appreciation of the diversity of perspectives and experiences present in the art world. 

"Suite: Generis" is an exhibition that strikes a perfect balance between an appreciation of historical legacy and a celebration of artistic innovation. With a light and accessible approach, the exhibition invites the public to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of Cuban photography, while promoting dialogue and reflection on Cuban identity and culture.
