Havana Biennial to change date

The Havana Biennial, that has taken place in Havana, Cuba since 1984, has a high prestige at international level. It has become square for the debate about of the courses of contemporary art in its plural expressions and in the last edition, it opened even more its spectrum joining arts and sciences in an appropriate conjugation of knowledge.    

Organized by the Wifredo Lam Contemporary Arts Center, it took place in its building premises—previous mansion of the Condes de Peñalver, a building from the 18th century declared World Heritage—galleries and several spaces of the city. The sample gathers the works of several artists under a curatorial criterion that traditionally has focused in Latin American and of the Third World themes.

The national Council of Visual Arts (CNAP as per its initials in Spanish) has decided that the Biennial’s Thirteenth edition, corresponding to 2018 will take place in November, a month that favors the event, that for its own nature has a large program of central and collateral samples, for the improvement of weather conditions in the country in that period and the no coincidence with other international biennials.
