From an opportunity to explore Cuba in a people-to-people exchange that included study of its history and society; discussions with members of the Cuban community, artists, guides, and a professor; and personal experiences while traveling, this viewpoint offers insights into the sociopolitical culture and creative engagement within which the Cuban people live. An author from the United States describes the Cuban perspective on Marxist-Leninist psychology, evidence of a popular arts movement, and reflection on how art therapy might support the needs of the Cuban community in the future.
