Cuba hosts scientific event on contemporary art and culture

Havana, (Prensa Latina) The 20th Scientific Conference on Art and Culture opened on Monday in Cuba to offer a virtual space to unravel the link between research and creation.

Intellectuals, writers, teachers and students will attend the different virtual platforms to talk on artistic practices within the dynamics of society, cultural production processes and the adoption of new scenarios as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Outstanding figures from Latin America and other regions honor the event’s program, including Atilio Boron and Manuel Santos (Argentina), Pascualina Curcio (Venezuela), Fernando Buen Abad (Mexico), and Ignacio Ramonet and Ramon Freire (Spain).

Organized by the University of the Arts (ISA), the meeting, which focuses on debate, the socialization of ideas and the presentation of research results, dedicates its 20th edition to the 45th anniversary of that artistic institution.

The event will run until June 11, and some of its sessions will focus on the Fidel Castro’s speech ‘Words to intellectuals’, which he made six decades ago and is the basis of Cuba’s cultural policy.
