NATION, TOXICITY, AND CARE: EXPLORING CHEMICAL KINSHIP IN CUBA’S LATEST ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER

Pollution as a widespread phenomenon on the Cuban island has received less academic attention from the humanities and social sciences. This article reflects on this "dirty" side of the story, and the relations made visible in the Matanzas explosions.

Swimming with Trash in the Caribbean

The Caribbean art invites us to consider human stress on natural environments and nature’s capacity to cope with a trend of accelerated consumerism, when terrestrial and marine landscapes are substituted with threatening images of wastescapes.

Permaculture in Cuba. Designing Sustainability

Permaculture focuses on human habitat design and farming methods which mimic the relationships found in the patterns of nature. Its central axes are food production, energy supply, landscape design and the organization of (infra) social structures.
