Though a few of the featured artists live in the United States, most of them still reside in Cuba. Cuban artists lack the exposure of many other artists because they cannot ship their pieces into the United States due to the business, travel, and financial restrictions that result from the embargo enacted during the Kennedy era. Many of the pieces on display could only enter the country accompanied by someone returning from Cuba...
...tiny little island and the amount of artistic energy is unbelievable.” Though nearly all of the artists have had formal training (according to Javan, “Maybe a handful are self-taught”) many have to contend with a severe lack of artistic supplies and, therefore, must improvise. Once Cuba lost the financial support of the Soviet Union, according to Javan, some artists were forced to use kitchen linoleum for the lack of printing material more suited to artistic purposes. These multifaceted artists display talents in a wide array of media including etchings, woodcuts...
...some extent, it’s about finding a venue willing to let a troupe perform.

Incredibly, collegiate Quidditch stands extremely well on its own as an actual sport—and is remarkably enjoyable even if you don’t remember...
...make up for a lack of flight, for example, all players must carry a broom between their legs at all times. Chasers run down the field with the Quaffle (a volleyball) while attempting to evade other Chasers, Beaters throwing Bludgers (dodgeballs), and the Keeper (that’s me) to score a goal through the opposing team’s hoops. In the meantime, off the field, Seekers fight to catch the Snitch, a neutral player dressed in a gold track suit who is allowed to run anywhere on the college campus. A goal is worth 10 points...
