Yo Soy Fidel

follows the cortege of Fidel Castro, former Cuban revolutionary and

politician, over a period of several days in late 2016. Michael Christopher Brown

leaned out a rear passenger window of his passing vehicle in order to photograph

Cubans waiting alongside the highway for Fidel's military convoy, carrying his

cremated remains from Havana to Santiago, to pass. The route mirrored Fidel's

post-revolution journey from Santiago to Havana in 1959, which helped solidify his

hero and legend. In

Yo Soy Fidel , fragments of this initial image have survived his

death though perhaps inevitably lead to a question of what is to come. A country

largely seen for half a century as a symbol of dignity and hope in the fight against

imperialism, Cuba has a choice - stay true to Fidel's revolutionary path or succumb to

globalization and all it entails.
