A diverse range of creative talent has been bought together to create the exclusive exhibition, designed to bring to life through modern art the vibrant energy, passion and spirit of contemporary Cuba and the Cuban way of life. The 100 artists have come from the worlds of graffiti, illustration, photography, fashion design, fine art and sculpture and will use their favourite form of art and design to convey what Havana and Havana Club means to them. Artists include global graffiti legend Mode2, UK street artist Kid Acne, tattoo artist Cubanbee, fashion designer Russell Maurice and contemporary sculpture artist Jethro Haynes – to name but a few.

100 Pieces of Havana has been curated by Intercity and will take place from 23–28 July at the Dray Walk Gallery, Truman Brewery, London E1.
