At a New Year’s Eve party in 1958, Magnum photographer Burt Glinn heard that rebel leader Fidel Castro had taken over Cuba. By the following morning he was on the ground in Cuba, documenting the events as they unfolded.

His shots of the freshly minted ruler giving speeches in front of buildings that had just been seized by the new government will be featured, along with many others, in the International Center of Photography’s upcoming exhibition “¡Cuba Cuba!: 65 Years of Photography.”

Coinciding with a new era in diplomatic relations between Cuba and the U.S., the exhibition offers an insight into Cuban culture, history and everyday life, from a period when travel between the two countries was largely prohibited.

It includes work from Magnum greats and major Cuban photographers such as Alberto Korda and Raúl Corrales. Here’s a preview of the exhibition, which runs from August 15 through September 7th at the Southampton Arts Center in New York.
