Havana Part I: David Fenton’s SHOTS Exhibition at the Contemporary Art Center Wifredo Lam Just Finished
David Fenton‘s exhibition SHOTS was a resounding success in Havana. It was a beautiful evening for the exhibition opening and everyone who came enjoyed making new friends. It was another remarkable exhibition in the series of cultural exchanges Govinda Gallery has enjoyed with Cuba since the first collaboration there, La Revolución del Rock & Roll, in 2002.
