The electrical box in Havanastraat was designed by local Merksem artist Jango Jim. It is inspired by the bustling neighborhood of Little Havana in the city of Miami he visited last year. A colorful neighborhood and multicultural melting pot of people from Cuba and all over the world full of folk art, Cuban coffee, cigar shops, salsa dance clubs, restaurants, ... Because of the tropical atmosphere and palm trees it always looks like summer. With this nice atmosphere he hopes to bring some color and atmosphere to the neighborhood.

Dit kunstwerk maakt deel uit van "Tour Elentrik". Dit zijn landelijke stadsvernieuwingsprojecten waarbij oude en lelijke stroom en nutskasten worden opgeknapt door lokale creatievelingen en professionele kunstenaars uit het Treepack-netwerk.
