Activities will begin this Friday with a conference named Cuba hoy, desafíos y perspectives (Cuba today, challenges and perspectives), in charge of the Cuban Ambassador in France, Rogelio Sánchez Levis.

The exhibition called Cuba va will be inaugurated on the same day. It is made up by the work of the Italian photographer Roberto Fumagalli and with the performances of the Cuban musicians who live in Nants: Rubén and Geysa.

On Saturday, there will be presented the exhibition Pendiente (Pending) by the painter David Muguercia as well as an exhibition of old posters about Cuba by the French sculptor Gérard Voisin, UNESCO artist for peace.

Also, the cultural attaché from the Cuban diplomatic mission, Elio Fidel López, will deal with the topic Paradojas de la creatividad cultural desde el Período Especial en Cuba (Paradoxes of cultural creativity from the Special Period in Cuba).
