International Colloquium
Memory and Future: Cuba and Fidel
The International Colloquium
“Memory and Future: Cuba and Fidel,” organized by
the Oswaldo Guayasamín Foundation to honor the
leader of the Cuban Revolution on his 80th birthday,
is to begin Wednesday, November 29 at the
International Convention Center in Havana, with more
than 1,800 prominent individuals from 80 nations.
For two days, political leaders,
social activists, writers and artists will address –
from their own and diverse viewpoints – the
achievements attained in Cuba under Fidel’s
leadership, and in a very special way, his
perspectives and international impact, according to
the event organizers. On Thursday, in a plenary
session, the colloquium’s closing will take place at
the Karl Marx Theater.
That same day, an exhibition is
to be inaugurated in the National Museum of Fine
Arts with 100 original works by the maestro Oswaldo
Guayasamín from three of his most representative
illustrative series: Huacayñán (El Camino
del llanto),
La edad de la ira and La edad de la
ternura. The exhibit will also include portraits
of Fidel painted by Guayasamín at different times.
