“Preamble” is the name of the first proposal that will run until December 5 with a program of activities focused on the role of art in times of crisis, the theme of decolonization as an act of liberation, ecology and sustainability.
A performance by Isabella Soupart’s dance company, musician Guy Vandromme, designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard and dancers from the Higher Institute of Art will be brought to the stage during these days.
Under the slogan “Future and Contemporaneity,” the Havana Biennial will complete its cycle with other experiences called “Havana of the Biennial” and “Return to the Future,” which will take place from December 6 to March 24 and from March 25 to April 30, respectively.
