This long-term project began in November 2014. With artist Ed Pien and 13 elders from the community of San Agustín, Cuba. They explore the notion of time, and the impact of time on the lives of each of them.

In the almost ten years since this project began, many major events have taken place. Despite all the challenges, the pandemic has brought out the best in many people, their ability to take action to help their families, friends and communities. As well, some continued to advance the cause of human rights, justice, peace and equality. And in the midst of all this, time continued its inexorable progression, the traces of which we all bear.

In the second volume of Present: past / future, we pay tribute to those who have left us: Ana, Eva, Gladys, Mercedes, Roland and Santos, and we celebrate those who, with patience and generosity, have committed themselves to continuing this exploration of time: Barroso, Clementina, Eloina, Marcelino, Sylvia, Walfrido and Zonia.
