Every May 27th, Argentina honors documentary filmmakers — those who, with a camera in hand, capture realities, struggles, and collective memory.
Today, we especially remember Raymundo Gleyzer, who was disappeared on May 27th, 1976, by the civic-military dictatorship.
His legacy lives on in every story told with courage.

#Postcards from Cuba a new series by Maestra in c #Postcards from Cuba

a new series by Maestra in collaboration with our friends at @bellyofthebeastcuba, sharing powerful stories of innovation and resilience from the island 🇨🇺.

This short features Ernesto Rivera Suárez, who runs a unique, sustainable carwash in Havana called La Ecológica. Instead of wasting thousands of liters of water like conventional carwashes, Ernesto uses rainwater and recycled greywater from his home.

Watch the full 5-minute short now on our YouTube channel—link in @maestra_productions bio. Or at the following link ,👇🏼

https://youtu.be/SsH35Idlr8w

“I could’ve opened a carwash like every other one—polluting, wasting water. But I did it this way to show that you can build something new that’s also environmentally conscious.”

We stand firmly against the U.S. blockade—a policy that only harms the Cuban people by restricting access to essential goods. Through this series, we aim to share just a glimpse of the resilience, creativity, and humanity of Cubans who continue to thrive despite it all.

We must keep Cuba in the conversation—not as a headline, but as a living, breathing place full of people whose stories deserve to be seen and heard.

More to come!

Hoy, en el Día Internacional contra la Homofobia, Hoy, en el Día Internacional contra la Homofobia, la Transfobia y la Bifobia, alzamos la voz por el respeto, la dignidad y la libertad de ser. Esta fecha nos recuerda que aún hay muchos lugares donde amar libremente o expresar la propia identidad pone vidas en riesgo. Reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con una sociedad más justa, donde ninguna persona sea discriminada por a quién ama o por cómo se identifica. La diversidad no es una amenaza: es una riqueza que debemos proteger, celebrar y defender todos los días

A propósito de la fecha, compartimos fotografías de la proyección de la película Quba de Kim Anno @anno.kim , imágenes. gracias a nuestra querida @guillardlimonta

Quba! ofrece un retrato íntimo de la comunidad LGBTQ+ en Cuba y de los artistas, soñadores y luchadores que están transformando el futuro de la isla.

***********

Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we raise our voices for respect, dignity, and the freedom to be. This date reminds us that there are still many places where loving freely or expressing one’s identity puts lives at risk. We reaffirm our commitment to building a more just society—one where no one is discriminated against for who they love or how they identify. Diversity is not a threat: it is a source of richness that we must protect, celebrate, and defend every single day.

In honor of this day, we share photos from the screening of the film Quba by Kim Anno @anno.kim, with images thanks to our dear @guillardlimonta.

Quba! offers an intimate portrait of Cuba’s LGBTQ+ community and of the artists, dreamers, and fighters who are transforming the island’s future.

Today on International Family Day we want to shout Today on International Family Day we want to shout out our multidisciplinary artist Kim Anno (@anno.kim) and her powerful film ¡Quba! @qubafilm , now screening for the first time in Cuba! 

¡Quba! is a testament to the power of human connection in the face of deeply rooted evangelical machismo. In 2022, the unthinkable happened—Cuba became the first communist nation to enshrine LGBTQ rights into law through a popular vote. This is no ordinary revolution.

The film follows nationally recognized organizers Adela Hernández and Ramon Silverio, who have worked side by side for over 40 years. Their lives are full of humor, love, art, and relentless commitment to justice. Alongside them, activists Maritza, Ana, Isel, and Ulises bring music, performance, and fierce questions into the fight for constitutional change and marriage equality.

¡Quba! offers an intimate portrait of Cuba’s LGBTQ+ community and the artists, dreamers, and fighters reshaping the island’s future. And of course—Cuban music is front and center, one of the most powerful tools in this ongoing struggle for love and liberation.

@kiyonle @alasconpuntas

Hoy, en el Día Internacional de la Familia, queremos homenajear a nuestra querida amiga Kim Anno @anno.kim y su poderosa película ¡Quba! @qubafilm , que se proyecta por primera vez en Cuba.

¡Quba! es un testimonio del poder de la conexión humana frente al machismo evangélico profundamente arraigado. En 2022, ocurrió lo impensable: Cuba se convirtió en la primera nación comunista en consagrar los derechos LGBTQ en su legislación mediante un voto popular. Esta no es una revolución cualquiera.

La película sigue a los reconocidos activistas Adela Hernández y Silverio, quienes han trabajado codo a codo por más de 40 años. Sus vidas están llenas de humor, amor, arte y un compromiso incansable con la justicia. Junto a ellos lxs activistas Maritza, Ana, Isel y Ulises— quienes aportan música, performance y preguntas incisivas a la lucha por el cambio constitucional y la igualdad en el matrimonio.
Quba! ofrece un retrato íntimo de la comunidad LGBTQ+ en Cuba y de los artistas, soñadores y luchadores que están transformando el futuro de la isla.

On Joy Harjo’s birthday, we’re celebrating her On Joy Harjo’s birthday, we’re celebrating her words with Remember—a beautiful poem turned into a children’s book, brought to life with stunning illustrations by artist Michaela Goade. 

Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother’s, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.

This week’s recommendation is in honor of Septima Clark's birthday (May 3, 1898). 

Septima Clark played one of the most essential, but little recognized roles in the Civil Rights Movement. Born in 1898 in Charleston, South Carolina, she was a public school teacher until 1956, when she was dismissed for refusing to disavow her membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Soon after, she was hired by the Highlander Folk School, helping to design and implement Citizenship Schools throughout the South where Black adults could learn to read, register to vote and build individual and collective political power. During the 1960s she worked with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and was a close collaborator of Martin Luther King, Jr. From 1978 to 1983 she served as the first Black woman on the Charleston School Board. Her story is a major thread in the tapestry of the Civil Rights Movement.
