8th Havana Biennial: Venues of our Tour

 

On our tour you will find works by 33 participants in the central show of the 8th Havana Biennial, as well as a selection of special and parallel exhibitions and projects.

We also would have liked to have seen the works created as part of the biennial by artists from various countries in the urban setting of the Alamar quarter (on the eastern end of Havana). However, the trip out there for the opening on 2 November was canceled at short notice, supposedly because the artists were not yet finished.

We later learned that Cuban officials did indeed attend the planned opening in Alamar. Apparently, those responsible decided at the last minute that foreigners should be kept away from Cuba’s largest housing project (with over 160,000 residents) which, in its dreariness, is anything but a model example of Socialist quality of life.
