Cuban artist switches Havana's neon lights back on
HAVANA - After dusk in Havana, an ice-blue neon sign illuminates the faded facade of the Cine El Megano, one of many abandoned movie houses in the Cuban capital, lighting up a once vibrant corner at the heart of the Caribbean city that had gone pitch black in recent decades.The glowing neon italic letters fill the building's colonial facade with an art-deco accent between the doors below and the wraparound balcony above. It is the work of Cuban artist Kadir Lopez Nieves, who is restoring the vintage signs of the cinemas, hotels and cabarets that lit up Havana's nightlife in its 1950s heyday.His project, dubbed "Habana Light Neon + Signs", has so far restored around 50 signs, reflecting a broader revival in Havana. The city, one of the architectural jewels of Latin...
