Workers clean a facade benefited by the community cultural project "The Joy of Living" headed by the Cuban painter and sculptor Jose Antonio Rodriguez Fuster, in Jaimanitas of Havana, Cuba, on Jan. 25, 2018. Fusterland, a humble neighborhood to the west of Havana transformed from a remote fishing village, has become a hot tourist attraction in recent years thanks to the transformation, and the key to the fundamental change is, to the shock of many, art. Jaimanitas, or what many people call "Fusterland," owns its unusual popularity to Cuban painter and sculptor Jose Antonio Rodriguez Fuster. For the last 25 years, Fuster has used some of his income from the sales of artworks to improve the once remote fishing village. (Xinhua/Joaquin Hernandez)
