Further information:

"'. . . Eduardo Hernandez Santos’s camera has captured in his luscious tome, EL muro: The Wall, Gs, Ls, Bs and a stunning array of Ts face the lens with fierce defiance.
. . . act of faith and courage, a heavy topic artistically and delicately presented. I loved looking into those dark, defiant eyes.'—Eduardo Santiago

Eduardo Hernández Santos made these photographs of homosexuals, transgenders, and cross-dressers in the summer of 2005 at Havana, Cuba’s seafront wall.

Taken together, the pictures in this book tell a remarkable story of human endurance and triumph. Hernández Santos presents his subjects not as passive players but as people who struggle (though more quietly than not) against discrimination even though such struggle is very risky."
