From March, 2023 to February, 2024, the government of the United States maintained a maximum pressure policy against Cuba and continued to fully implement the economic, commercial and financial blockade, which is the fundamental pillar of that policy. Unilateral measures remained unchanged, with a stronger impact on Cuba’s economy and people. Such measures have continued to replicate and aggravate the demolishing effects of this unilateral coercive system, the most wide-ranging and longestlasting in history.
The most attractive and distinctive thing about the Havana Biennial is its ability to take the city as a setting. However, the visual proposal in traditional spaces such as art galleries, studios, or museums is wide and varied. Artists are invited to create together in the communities, as a profitable exchange experience and its extension to other cities in the country is planned.
The Havana Biennial, founded in 1984, is a contemporary art event organized by the Wifredo Lam Center whose fundamental purpose is to contribute to the better knowledge and dissemination of the visual arts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean and their diásporas. It is considered “the first biennial of Latin American art.”
Cuba has endured 64 years of a U.S. economic blockade.This intensified when President Trump unjustifiably put Cuba on a list of so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT).President Biden has continued that listing. Companies worldwide that want to sell medicines or food to Cuba often can’t because their own bank refuses to accept Cuba’s payment under threat of enormous fines from the U.S.treasury for dealing with “terrorists.”
Tell Biden that he must, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from this arbitrary list.
