Description

Parrandas. Camajuaní, Cuba, 2007.


“This picture was taken during the Parrandas festival in Camajuaní, Cuba. It shows the height of the celebrations for this tradition, which is recognised as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

A thick column of smoke fills the scene, with the shapes of people moving through the glow from handmade fireworks. You can see their figures and bits of debris hanging in the air, all caught in the thick of the action. The photo really shows how the whole event is built around a rivalry between different neighborhoods.

“This moment stands as proof of the sheer determination of the Cuban people. Every single year, despite everything, they find the creativity and the means to carry on this joyful tradition. It’s their way of holding on to who they are and making sure this part of their culture isn’t forgotten, even through very tough times.”

Square Print Sale: Odyssey

Magnum Photos partners with The Photographers’ Gallery for the March 2026 Square Print Sale, Odyssey. Odyssey is more than a journey — it is a search for meaning, a crossing of thresholds, a story of growth and resilience. It is the pull of the unknown: the road ahead, the distance behind, the moments that change us along the way.


Spanning continents and decades, Odyssey traces both physical and emotional paths, from epic migrations to quiet reckonings of the self. Moving through borders, memory, and time, the collection reflects the enduring power of photography to bear witness, to connect personal stories with larger histories, and to illuminate the journeys that shape who we are, and what we come to understand.


Over 100 signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6x6” prints will be available online for one week, priced from $110/£110/€120.

The Odyssey Square Print Sale runs Monday, March 23 at 9 a.m. ET and ends Sunday, March 29 at 11:59 p.m.
