About "Tobacco barn in Vinales, Cuba"

by Margot van den Berg

About the artwork

In the Vinales Valley in Cuba, a lot of tobacco is grown by small farmers. They grow the tobacco plant and harvest the tobacco leaves by hand.

These leaves are dried tied together in a traditional tobacco barn. This drying shed often consists of narrow vertical slats next to each other, where the wind can blow through but the rain cannot. The tobacco is hung over long slats, rows behind and above each other. The wind dries the leaves quickly.

The harvest is compulsorily sold to the state, at a set price. Often the farmer keeps a little tobacco behind for his own use.

The dryness in the barn makes it an ideal place to store saddles.

Before I went to Cuba, I had no idea how tobacco was grown and made. The fields, the intensive handwork and especially the impressive drying barns were beautiful to see. The idea that you can't decide how much you grow, who you sell to, and that even in advance the state determines how much your harvest should yield adds an extra dimension to walking around a tobacco farm.
