My abuela’s story has always amazed me. When she passed away in the summer of 2023, it was incredibly eye-opening to see her biography told through the things she kept: her passports, family photos, and documents; what she left behind offered a glimpse at a greater narrative of courage and bravey. Eva, my abuela, immigrated from Cuba when she was 30 after being put on Fidel Castro’s hit list, living several different lives while maintaining finesse and elegance.
This 300-page, work in progress biography tells her story through scanned artifacts and photography as well as original essays based on her stories.
