Wednesday July 2 You're dying to cut through all the propaganda and know what life in contemporary Cuba is really like, but you're reluctant to sneak over there and give them your hard-earned American dinero? A much cheaper and definitely legal alternative awaits you at Casa Bacardi (yes, that would be the liquor conglomerate) in the University of Miami's Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (1531 Brescia Ave., Coral Gables). "Cuba: ¡Imaginate!" offers a look at the embargoed island nation through the lens of Cuban-American photojournalist Roy Llera, who did what you dared not -- went there and captured the day-to-day doings of its people. It was an assignment in which Llera admits any attempts at objectivity soon vanished and one that he hopes will create awareness and understanding for folks on both sides of the Florida Straits. The show runs through Sunday, September 14. Admission is five dollars. Call 305-284-2822. (NK)
