Cuba is a small powerful island in the Caribbean, grossly misunderstood by the Western world.

The visualization of Cuban culture is intrinsically linked to the rich, fascinating history of the country. Cuba takes great pride in its history, its present and will enter the future with great confidence and inner strength.

This is dramatically represented in all aspects of the Cuban art movement, which is the reason we believe a cultural exchange will be of enormous benefit to the United Kingdom and Cuba in building new and exciting cultural bridges.

“Cuban culture is the history of a small modern nation which has been marked by great events. It is a biography of events and episodes which reflects everyday life and impregnates the minds, eyes and skin of people, showing the need to have hope, the indispensable, deliberately combative displacement of man towards change in Cuba, unequivocally, for the better.“
